1x03 - The Man Trap<br></div><div>1x02 - Charlie X<br></div>1x01 - Where No Man has Gone Before<br><br></div><div>So the swap took but didn't affect the order displayed. I then swapped the releasedate and intid fields, but the list is still showing 1x03 before 1x01. Where is the display order held / what is it controlled by?<br>

<br>
</div>I use the following recommended directory structure:<br>
Show Name/Season XX/showname.SXXEYY<br>
<br>
Files are *always* appearing in the order of episode #.<br>
<br>
Even if we had a split between TV and Movie dedicated grabber (like<br>
XBMC does), it wouldn't find for /01-01 - View from the Villa.mpg<br>
<br>
The directory name the file is found has no bearing on the grabber.<br>
<div class="">01-01 - View from the Villa.mpg<br>
<br>
</div>doesn't contain the show name, how is it supposed to find it and guess<br>
where it's coming from?<br>
<br>
Just follow the wiki, it's all there<br>
