Hi, I don't quite understand what you're asking for. Why not just customize the episode numbers and then lock the episodes?

[Happy2Play 9780]

If you are referring to specials the custom fields exist in edit metadata/metadata manager.  This information comes from TVDB by default. Only current issue is they don't appear in "Next Up".

i have tried this but there is one thing that i could not realize at the moment without going cracy.

 

as you can see with babylon5 the last episode from season 4 is  chronological the last episod fron the whole babylon5 universe

sorting the special as described is easy but also the episodes out of order with the spcials is a nitghtmare.

so the request for an easy to realize custom order support for ex as an playlist or oder.txt file as shown abouth.

why not just renumber that episode and lock the metadata

[geos_one 1]

it was just a request 

i have about 20 tv shows with an better sorting for continuity.

so it was just an idea (i dont have the time to do this for this 20 shows)

If you don't have time to edit the episode number and lock the metadata, you wouldn't have time to edit this new metadata value either.
