Thanks for the various suggestions regarding sorting by production order rather than air date. It finally prompted me to learn how to explore and edit the MySQL<br>
database. As an experiment, I swapped episode numbers of two shows, but it didn't change the order it was displayed in MythFrontend.<br>

You don't have to resort to the MySQL command line for changing the episode or season number of a video. Hit E instead which brings up the metadata editor screen.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thanks, that is a lot easier than editing the database!<br>

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>

Hit M, select Filter Display, and make sure Sort By is set to Season/Episode. You might have to re-enter the video library after changing this.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That worked - thanks!<br></div><div> </div>

With a little script fu, you can automate the reordering for the entire<br>
run of a show. Feed it a list with what the data should be (as well as what<br>
the incorrect settings are) and let it ripe.<br></blockquote>
<br></div><div>I'd be willing to try that, but I don't know where to start. Is there an existing script I should modify? If I make my own, where do I insert it?
