How to change a TV Show library's episode sorting? - kartikynwa - 2024-11-11
I accidentally changed the sorting order a library containing TV shows. The episodes within seasons are now listed alphabetically rather by episode number. Anyone knows how I managed to do this? How to undo this?
I was only able to fix it by deleting the library and recreating it from scratch.

Can you share a screenshot. I'm not aware of a way to change the sort order of episodes without manually changing the sort title.

I am really sorry but I did not take a screenshot of the situation. When it happened, the view of a show's season was like normal except that:
- Episode numbering had disappeared. So instead of "2. Episode Title" it only said "Episode Title"
- Episode descriptions had disappeared
- Episodes were sorted alphabetically
Sorry about this. The situation is resolved now (by recreating the library) so don't worry about it too much. I thought I would drop a line to see if anyone had experienced this before.

My guess would be that you probably enabled one of these settings in the library.

I figured it out. This happened because for some reason Jellyfin was not able to obtain the episode numbers for the video files.
