Mine sort correctly by season then episode and are not jumbled, not sure how you get yours to be mixed. Are you sorting by file size or date or something?

The titles (for a series) are all identical obviously so don't impact sort order. Remember title is the series name (ie Danger Man in your case), subtitle is the episode name (ie View from the Villa). If you have multiple series in a single folder then they should be grouped alphabetically but otherwise still ordered by season / episode.
