When adding Child profiles for TV seasons or movie series, why are they not in reasonable order?  I can somewhat understand this for movies that have vastly different names, but what is the reasoning for TV season boxes?

Why is it that Child profiles are in

TV season, disc 3
TV season, disc 1
TV season, disc 2

It seems it should be easy enough to put titles like this in correct order so that they are displayed in correct order (when displayed by collection #).

Did you gave your child profiles also collection numbers?
I had no problem if the childs have the collection numbers in the right direction
Parent: X
Child: disc 1: X+1
Child: disc 2: X+2
...

Also had no problems with always the same collection number on child an parent
Parent: X
Child: disc 1: X
Child: disc 2: X
...

Another idea if it's also not the sorting title:
Sort by title, check if it's then correct and then change back to sorting with collection number.

No, I am talking about when adding Season Box set to my collection.  When Child profiles are present, the program offers to add them to my collection, but the default order is usually not in order.  I usually decline the automatic add, and then manually add them under Add by Title in correct order.

The order in which you add them doesn't reflect teh order in which they display. You may have to tweak collection numbers, though. As best as I can tell, they are added added alphabetically by the actual title.

I know exactly what you are talking about and there does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. I've added multiple "complete series" box sets with dozens of profiles in them. They all get added very randomly.

To those who haven't experienced it you could get a season 5 disk 6 then a season 3 disk 2 then then a season 4 disk whatever. You would think all of the disks for each season would come up at the same time but that's not the case.

While I find it a slightly annoying I have to say it is a HUGE improvement over adding each profile individually. I used to dread entering TV shows, now it's a joy.

I personalize them to sort how I want and since I don't number all of them I don't have a problem there. I could see if you wanted to number them it would be a bit more of a hassle. I guess I would redo the sort title and then just "re-number: them after they are added.

In this case they are actually sorted by UPC/Disc ID. Why? Only Ken knows.
