Is there a way to get episode notifications ordered? (septic.win)

I recently got Discord notifications working through the webhook plugin, but they get quite messy when adding multiple episodes of a show, with the episodes not being in any particular order. Does anyone know a way to get them ordered?

I'm thinking this is a core Jellyfin issue because web notifications for mass additions of show episodes also get thrown out in a random order all at once.

Have you considered webhooking from the sonarr side?

I had no idea Sonarr supported Discord webhooks!

However, I haven't considered Sonarr for a couple of reasons:

I much prefer TMDB ordering and I think Sonarr has made it clear they will never support TMDB
I have specific rules for how I handle special characters in file names and, to my knowledge, Sonarr has no customization for that

Happy to be corrected on the above; if not for them I would gladly commit to Sonarr.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Interesting to see that Sonarr won't support TMDB ever, did they say why? I also prefer TMDB and have invested too much to switch now

I came to this sentiment a few years ago when I first switched over to Jellyfin and was figuring out metadata providers and investigating the -arr services.

To be fair to Sonarr, I never found any kind of communication where they explicitly said "TMDB will never be supported" so I shouldn't have said so explicitly "Sonarr has made it clear", but a lot of the responses to support about TMDB that I came across had included suggestions like "stop using Sonarr", "Sonarr is free so enjoy what you're getting", and "if you want a feature, add it yourself". These answers, while technically valid, had a pretty stubborn tone, at least to me.

Also, while the people providing these kinds of answer obviously don't necessarily represent Sonarr as a whole, they did claim to be active supporters, and I found enough of them at the time that it soured my impression of Sonarr.

I think I may have found a few of them from back then:

Edit: As for why they won't support TMDB, some of their apparent reasons are discussing in the above posts, but I don't know how relevant or valid they are today, or even if they were back then.
