Episodes display out of order?

[drapacioli 8]

I have a few series with a random episode or two out of order, but recently I had the worst example by far. Trying to add Pokemon Horizons and while some episodes have actual names and titles with them, a lot are just named "episode 6" or whatever. No big deal, right? I load up my files in filebot and I set it to match the aniDB naming using ID 17777, which is the same thing I do inside the Emby library, Identify with the exact aniDB ID. Except, they're all ordering based on what has an episode name first, THEN by episode number, example 1-5, 7, 9-11, etc., which have names, then after that episode 6, 8, 12, etc., without names. 

 

Why is Emby doing this? The episode numbers and names clearly match the DB I used to identify the metadata with, but while that metadata lacks some episode titles, it still shows them in the correct order on the aniDB page and I would expect the same on Emby's side. Am I supposed to make up episode titles so it sorts things properly, or change the naming pattern? These are the way the files are named:

Episode titles are largely irrelevant and not necessary to be present nor are they used for identification.

Yes, you should use one of the supported naming conventions.

I see you appear to have season folder slightly cut off in image but yes that episode naming scheme is supported but primarily used for Absolute number display order.  At the same time not entirely familiar with the AniDB plugin.
