Any update to Support setting for series order.
discussion
Is there any update on this issue https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr/issues/255
Series like https://thetvdb.com/series/american-pickers have 'Aired order' and 'Streaming order'. Sonarr currently only displays series as aired order but my files are in 'Streaming order' so i cant import them without going through 350 episodes and setting the year manually.

Currently Sonarr doesn't support alternate ordering except for absolute episode order. This is because TVDB's API currently doesn't support additional orders, and therefore Skyhook, which is Sonarr's intermediate cache of TVDB, also doesn't support additional orders.
When TVDB does support additional orders, it's still going to be a while, if ever, to support additional episode ordering methods.
Is that true? Plex is able to accomplish this using their API, so I would think Sonarr could as well.
See my above reply
This is false; TVDB's current API (v3, I believe) supports DVD order (all in the same API call, too) and has, for some time (something like three years now), its skyhook (sonarr's homegrown integration layer between sonarr and TVDB) that is out of date to not support DVD order. This is what my last few hours of frustrated research on old(ish) forum posts and unsolved but locked github support requests have led me to.
https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr/issues/255 (The github issue OP included in the original post) (There are user-generated API calls to TVDB in here from 3 years ago that prove alt ordering is supported by TVDB's API) (first post here is from give or take nine years ago)
