Problem with sorting - Nachtatem - 2025-02-25
I don't know what to do anymore. Every season folder has the anime and season name and every episode has anime name, episode number and season numer and Jellyfin still puts episode on the wrong place or puts the same episode 2 times on the same season. I have the same Problem with Pokemon. Pictures with Example attached.

Your file naming and folder naming is non-compliant.

Code:
Show Name/Season 1/Show Name - S01E01 - Episode Name.mkvYou could simplify it a little more.
Code:
Show Name/Season 1/S01E01.mkvRE: Problem with sorting - Nachtatem - 2025-02-25
Alright. It is such a pane to rename so much Episodes. Somehow this is only a Problem with big shows. When it is only 3 seasons like in Beyblade there is no Problem with the same file naming.

It can really depend on your metadata source. For really long animes like, Detective Conan or One Piece, there are multiple ways to order the show. Some orders are very different. The way you have your anime ordered may not line up with the metadata you are currently pulling down. By default Jellyfin will pull down the "airing order" of a show. Go to TVDB or TMDB, whichever is your current metadata source, and check how the airing order is arranged and compared with how you have your files named and organized.
