DVD Order for TV Series

[TheGrimKeeper 30]

So I just added a TV cartoon series from DVD.  The cartoons are 12 minutes each, but on the DVD they're packaged as 30-minute episodes featuring two cartoons each.  TVDB has the correct DVD order, so I ripped and named them according to those names and order.  I scanned them into my library, and of course it came up as Aired order.  So in metadata manager I changed the Order option to DVD, rescanned, and...nothing changed.  How is this supposed to work?

Metadata Refresh is needed. Also, TVDB must be first meta-provider in library settings.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.  I appreciate the advice!

Thanks, didn't know about "DVD order" in metadata manager, helped me.

Is there a way to set DVD order for the whole library?  Guessing there isn't unless I somehow missed it.

If there actually isn't a way to set DVD order for a library, this would be a good improvement to add.

HI, there currently isn't, although it's not a bad idea.

Did you rename the files to use the DVD order episode numbers?
