    SOLVED: thanks to below comment by TheDreadPirate

    Hello everyone. First time posting here because Jellyfin has worked like a charm so far. But I've come across an issue that I cannot find a specific fix for, despite having googled and hunted through reddit threads. Forgive me if it's been addressed somewhere in documentation or a thread I failed to find.

    I have an anime which TMDB organises as
    Specials - 9 episodes
    Seasons: 1-6

    However these 9 specials are in fact 'filler' episodes that IMDB numerises within the seasons themselves at their story/chronological places. I'd like to follow this, but am not sure how to get Jellyfin to pull correct metadata because it follows TMDB.

    I have tried organizing them as:
    S05E02
    S05E02.5
    S05E03

    I have also tried organizing them as
    S05E02
    S05E02S01
    S05E03

    This so far has placed them in where I want them to be, but now I'd like to feed them the correct metadata (whether thats from TMDB or IMDB) so that they get their episode descriptions and correct thumbnails. Is that possible? Thanks in advance.

    Edit: So according to this (https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/61709-drag...409fa5e18f) thread on TMDB there is a separate International episode ordering that does what I'm trying to do. Is it possible to get Jellyfin to pull from this insdead?
