    Is it possible to put identifiers in the folder and/or file names that force Jellyfin, or Plex, or anything really, to pick an alternate episode order?  Example, the anime Sailor Moon was originally released in the US with lots of edits and cuts, making episodes of the first two seasons of the US dub no longer match up with the original anime, necessitating completely separate files.  TVDb has an alternate episode order titled "American Dub", with the instructions "Usable as "Alternate Order" in API-connected systems."  I know you can put [tvdb-78500] at the end of the dir name to force it to select Sailor Moon from TVDb, but can I add any other identifiers to that to make it also pick the "American Dub" version specifically.  I know I can go in and fix everything manually easily enough later, I just like to get my file names such that if I ever have to rebuild my media database at a later date, the scrappers can do as much of the work as possible.
