MBSki 1097 Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 I'm not understanding how the Latest TV shows are getting sorted. I just added WandaVision a minute ago, but it's the 4th item on the list. Why isn't it the first item on the list? It's not alphabetical, it's not by release date, it's not by show date, what is it? It should be putting the last item added at the front of the list, but it isn't ordering that way.

Happy2Play 9355 Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 It is last episode date added. So look at the dated added for the last episode in the series.

I don't think it's working correctly then, because when I sort by "Last episode date added" in the library, WandaVision is first in the list.
Happy2Play 9355 Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) I have raised issue on these never matching as there is a difference in the query somewhere. Come to think of it I am pretty sure it has to do with Virtual episodes. As in my case for series that have unwatched episodes and a episode airing today is sorted first via Library. If you removed the unplayed filter you would see this defect also of virtual unaired episodes changing the display order. Library has virtual and Lastest row does not from my guessing.

Ok, thanks. @Luke Do you have this bug tracked internally?
Happy2Play 9355 Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 A rather old one, if not by design. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/70101-sort-by-latest-episode-date-added

Happy2Play 9355 Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 But as you can see everything in square is future and line point to Latest.
Happy2Play 9355 Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 And technically that is not correct as you have to go back further as future episodes of Zoey put it there. Look at Mayans and Manifest. Future air dates.

Sorry, yes, an inside "joke". This one feature (missing/virtual episodes) complicates our system beyond what you could possibly imagine. Its one of those situations where an "option" looks so simple but, internally, creates extreme havoc due to the complexity it introduces into almost everything. We've been fighting with these complexities for years but this is an important - and unique to us - feature that we really don't want to remove (the missing/future episodes). Doing so, however, would have probably saved a lot of gray hairs...
