TV Metadata override from external id

That age old issue of Aired Order vs DVD vs Absolute Order for TV show episode listing... While it's difficult to be able to handle all the different ordering methods, it would helpful that if I manually input the TVDB or IMDB id for an episode, there could be a metadata refresh override so that all the information except the episode season and number be updated from the external metadata. The episode title, thumbnail, summary, rating, actors, air date, etc, it's just too much work to update all those items manually.

 

Ideal steps to change the episode ordering from TVDB default would be: Manually fixing the episode season, number, and external id, and then a metadata refresh to update everything else.

Is this request making sense? Basically, when you put in an IMDB id for a movie or show, and refresh the metadata, everything that gets pulled for that id gets written as the metadata for the entry, regardless of the file name or if it's actually the right file or not. I just want that to happen on an individual episode basis too.
