Sorting television series, movies, minosodes and webisodes mixup - march - 2020-11-14

Hi Blush
I couldn't find a solution for my problem - perhaps I've overseen it or my english isn't good enough to use the correct words.

I've sorted all my movies and series within Kodi in the correct way. One of my favorite series BSG contains some movies, webisodes and minisodes saved under Season 00. Now I'd like to watch the whole stuff in the correct order:
S00E01 → S00E02 → S01E01 → ... → S02E20 → S00E23 → ...

Is there a way to play all files in the correct order? Playlist didn't work as I wished and in the menu I can only choose Season 00, Season 01 and so on. Confused

My directory structure roughly looks like this:

Battlestar Galactica/

Season 00/
S00E01 Battlestar Galactica: The Miniseries (1).mp4
S00E02 Battlestar Galactica: The Miniseries (2).mp4
S00E04 Razor (1).mp4
S00E05 Razor (2).mp4

Season 01/
S01E01 33.mp4
...
S01E13 Kobol's Last Gleaming (2).mp4

Season 02/
S02E01 Scattered.mp4
...
S02E20 Lay Down Your Burdens (2).mp4

Season 03/
S03E01 Occupation.mp4
...
S03E20 Crossroads (2).mp4

Season 04/
S04E01 He That Believeth in Me.mp4
..
S04E20 Daybreak (2).mp4

It should all be played in chronological order as mentioned in my first post: https://thetvdb.com/series/battlestar-galactica-2003/allseasons/official

@march

If you scraped from TVDB, then the Specials should be sorted into the correct location in the season lists. If you click the All Seasons item at the top of the Seasons list, you should see all episodes. If you scraped with TheMovieDB, this won't happen as they do not offer sorting of Specials into Seasons.

You could also use this method and sort all BG episodes into one show as I have done. This requires a bit of initial work to set up, but once done, it remains... https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Movie_universe

Thank you so much it helped me a lot.   Smile  I wouldn't have put it into context because my english is not that good.  

I just rescraped some series on my RPi and will sort BSG, Dexter, Heroes et cetera.
