[mythtv-users] Feature Request: Differentiate TV Shows From Movies

[Fred Hamilton]

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
 database.  As an experiment, I swapped episode numbers of two shows, but
it didn't change the order it was displayed in MythFrontend.

Originally:
1x01 - The Man Trap
1x02 - Charlie X
1x03 - Where No Man has Gone Before

After swapping the episode number, MythFrontend shows:
1x03 - The Man Trap
1x02 - Charlie X
1x01 - Where No Man has Gone Before

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?
