I searched and could not find this anywhere.

So here is a tip I use, and not submit obviously, so that my Married With Children collection sorts by season instead of alphebitacally.

I rename the season in the parent and all children from the word "seventh" to the number "7" in the sort by name field.

I was quite put out seeing season 8 first in the sort followed by season 5, ect...

Anyways doing this makes the alphabetical renumbering come out right, at least too me.

After reading this again I want to clarify that I rename all the seasons from the words to the season number in the sort by name field.

Many people do this, and you don't need to worry, the Sort Name field is always local and not contributed (unless maybe for a fresh profile). You may even want to use 07, for sets that go over 9 seasons, so that 10 does not alphabetically come before 2.

I also do the same.

Then for child profiles I use 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc to make sure they are in the correct order.

I even go so far as to change the sort-title of the parent to
$titel 0
than
$titel 1
for the first movie/season and so on

Thus the sorting is still correct even if the parent/childs are dissolve (like in my selfmade HTML-Lists)

I do something similar, but I use 1a, 1b, 1c etc.
