The problem is wrong sort settings. Defaults in theater view are in some cases.... messy.Go to Tools - Options - Theater View - Items to Show. There you find the view that is messy. For example the Video / Shows / Season view.Click "Set rules for file display..."Under "Modify Results" you select "Sort by" and click "Add"Choose "A-Z" and "Season"Do the same for EpisodeYour list should then say:Season (a-z)Episode (a-z)This means that it will sort on Season numbers first, then episode numbers. From the lowest number to the highest. Z-A would be the opposite.You can do LOTS in this Items to Show options. It's worth spending some time here to figure out how it works.
Or better yet - this should just be the default???
In my opinion, yes. It should. I don't want to speak out to loud, because it's a very long time since I've had a default Theater View setup. But I think there are still a few improvements that most people would enjoy as defaults.The A-Z numbering includes numbers. It's just an indicator for what direction the sorting goes. It could be called 0-Z, sure. But people might mistake the zero for a "o", and that would not be much better I think?
