Duplicate Feature Request: Add "International Order" to TV Library "File order" Dropdown

[Nathan2405 0]

Hi Emby Support Team,

I am writing to request a feature addition for the Edit Metadata section regarding TV show episode matching.

Currently, Emby allows users to choose between Aired, Absolute, and Dvd under the File order setting. However, it is missing International Order (sometimes referred to as Alternate order in other media servers), which is heavily utilized by major metadata providers like TheTVDB for global releases.

Without this option, tracking correct season and episode numbers for long-running international shows is highly inaccurate. For example, with the series Pokémon:

• Aired, DVD, and Absolute Order: The episode "Princess vs. Princess" is categorized as Season 1, Episode 52.

• International Order: This exact same episode is categorized as Season 2, Episode 1.

Because Emby lacks the "International Order" toggle, it makes matching local files to correct internet metadata incredibly difficult for these specific broadcast regions. Other platforms utilize an "Alternate" or "International" order option to bridge this gap.

Could you please look into adding International Order to the "File order" dropdown menu in the TV Metadata settings?

Thank you for your time and support.

Kind regards,

Nathan
