TV DB Ids and changing/ordering them problems.

I'm able to edit all manner of entries on episodes, however you can not move an episode from one number to another. There are numerous entries that are in the wrong order in a season listing. You can change the ID number in the edit, but when you press to save the changes it does nothing.
Currently you have to copy/paste all the info and then re-upload any relevant images.

Hi ElgarL,
Since you can't have two episodes with the same number changing it to a value that already exists won't work. What I think would work however, is you could temporarily change the one episode number to something like 99, make the edits on the other (now that the number is available) and then change things back. Does that make sense?
It's worth pointing out that we assume the aired order for all TV content. We do not at this time, support say, DVD ordering.
Cheers.

I'm not talking about moving to an occupied number. You can't change the ID at all.

What id are you referring to then? There is no concept of an TV episode id on the website…

Go to a Season click edit to see all the episodes of that season Click the edit button on an episode - eg. https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/121-doctor-who/season/2/edit?active_nav_item=episodes#
Change the Episode Number to any unoccupied number. Click save and nothing happens. No matter what you do you can not move an episode. It just will not save with the new number. No error or anything.
