Genius. Thanks

Whilst I know both of those tricks, this is one of those little things that could be made so much easier :)
Change the 'Fill Track Numbers' menu entry to episode number automatically if the media sub-type is TV show.
The other useful little trick I've got, is to use a calculated field to get whichever of Track # and Episode # is non-empty, and then use this for sorting on.

I like Leezer's suggestion.
Regarding Counter(): I stopped using that a long time ago because it did weird things. Like starting the count at arbitrary numbers (352 or 450, or 23) and changed. I just read the notes and it says not to use it in the RM&C tool or in Panes (or something like that). In my really brief testing this morning it worked just fine.
So I wonder if counter() has changed, or what. Nice to know that it works.

Things to remember when using counter()...
[x] It resets to zero after five seconds of non-use. You can see this if you make an expression column using counter() and simply run your mouse up and down the file list. Watch that counter column increment like crazy!
[x] Best not to use it in the rnm&c tool. Most of us will review the 'before/after' list, making use of the tooltips and scrolling if necessary. This keeps the counter alive and incrementing, so you end up with something a long way from what was desired. If you do use, preview the results as normal, ignoring the counter numbers, then, wait for more than five seconds before pressing OK, and the numbers will also be OK because counter() will have reset to zero.
[x] As long as the list of files in the rename dialogue are ordered as you want from top to bottom, it's safer to use customdata(#) in place of the counter() when using the rnm&c tool, although, that said, so long as you remember to allow counter() time to reset itself, it will work just fine, you have to remember is all, with customdata(#), you have one less thing to worry about, but, it's only really any use in the rnm&c tool, so you end up forgetting about it!

I found this topic via a search for "numbering episodes."
I have to echo the above comments ... thank-you, thank-you, thank-you.
The techniques mentioned here will, as another said, definitely reduce the RSI of importing a bunch of DVDs. :D
Thanks!
