Current guidelines are that the configured display order should match how you've named the files. It's not built to be something where you can just change the order based on preference.

 

Thanks, the name 'display order' leads me to assume it only changes how it is displayed and not what file naming convention it expects. 

A name that reflects that it changes the expected file naming format seems more important as that needs user action to ensure files match what Emby is looking to see.

Perhaps a remark in the file naming wiki page that changing this setting sets up certain expectations on the file name?

But it's obvious if you look at the different orders in TVDB; they may have different season and episode numbers for the same episodes.  So the season and episode numbers in the path and file name must match the TVDB number for the order you want in order for Emby to get the right metadata.

Just stumbled upon this.
Which order should I select to have the 'Parts Order (Netflix)' for Lupin (https://thetvdb.com/series/lupin)?
TheTVDB mentions it should be usable as "Alternate Order" in API-connected systems but maybe Emby doesn't support that yet?

Correct, Alternate Order still has not been added yet.

bumping this thread to check if we have any updates.

i know these are edge cases but is there any way to display this  in "netflix" order 
for example - https://thetvdb.com/series/la-casa-de-papel#seasons-alternate
not only the oder , here we have diffrent number of episodes as well.

Does anyone figured out any workaround on this ?

I imagine that the devs have no series that this is important for, given the long time we've been waqiting.

Actually I've been starting to plan this out.

awesome !!
in-fact i digg little bit in this a bit. netlfix is in habit of crating this chaos... they are taking non english series and randomly changing order, i guess going forward this is going to be a big issue.  Lupin (https://thetvdb.com/series/lupin#seasons) is also such example.
