{s00e00} yields absolute episode numbers only when Absolute Order is used

I am having issues renaming files.
I have this format setup
but it comes up every time like this Title - 02 - Episode.
Is there anyway to fix this issue? I am using this to rename files for plex.
Thanks

You have likely configured
Absolute Order in the
Episode Order Preferences. If you use
Absolute Order then all bindings such as
{s} or
{s00e00} only have absolute episode numbers to work with and so generate file paths accordingly.

Please revert back to
Airdate Order instead if you want the default SxE numbering.

If you're organising files for Plex then you'll want to use the
Organize Episodes for Plex Preset. That'll force the correct
Format and the correct
Episode Order settings.

I usually do not use the Presents. I usually hit the match button then click on source. all sources do it in that default now, even though before update it never did.

If you click on a database in the
Fetch & Match Data menu then FileBot will use that database and all the global settings you have set,
Language,
Match Mode,
Episode Order, etc. The defaults are
English /
Opportunistic /
Airdate. If you're organising files for Plex, then that would be the recommended settings.
