Support non-Aired order on TheTVDB?

[Dargod 0]

I noticed that Emby, working with TheTVDB, focuses on the list Aired Order for seasons.
I can’t force me to get information about episodes from Directors Cut, for example here:
https://thetvdb.com/series/re-zero-starting-life-in-another-world#seasons


Need a special marking for files, or is it not yet provided (an occasion for Future Request)?

There are multiple related feature requests, and many references to this issue in other threads:

In the specific case you show (Re:Zero), I made the DC versions a separate show, including [imdbid=tt13906272] in the folder name.  This apparently then picked up details from TMDB (where it has tmdbid=210005). Whether this would work as smoothly now as it did when I added it, I cannot say.

Thanks for the proposal of a temporary decision.
I adjusted it a little, i.e.
I received information to a separate show, as you suggested with imdb tag, and then transferred it as a season folder to the main one, making read-only NFO metadata.
Since if there is a Director's Сut, it makes no sense to have the original first season, and keep them in different shows too.
