New ATV3 interface shows TV show seasons on computer out of order

Yep, exactly the same problem here. I can't even work out what order they're showing in - it just seems completely random to me.
How they managed to make such a mess of such a simple feature is beyond me!

Same here, although worryingly this is how my iPad has always shown them on the shared library, so there must be a logic to it but it's beyond me. All the content is purchased through iTunes so the info they use to sort them should all be there!
I really hope they fix this, we have literally hundreds of shows on there and right now it's a complete mess, it is unusable without the remote app on an iOS device.
Is there a way to downgrade to the previous software release?

Just removed one of the titles beginning with "The" to see if I could get it to be organized but when I added it again, it added it at the very bottom.
I can only guess that the TV Shows are now ordered by the date they were added to the iTunes library - with the most current at the very bottom.
Very impractical!!

Go to Settings, iTunes and you can set the order. There is even an option where you can set any order you want to by holding the select button down, and moving the shows up or down.
That changes the sorting on the TV Shows->Favorites screen, but not in Computers->TV Shows
i wonder how long the update will take. ? has anyone had a problem with metax and homesharing being used on the iphone ipod touch and the ipad mine has the episodes i used metax for replicating down the interface ovver and over again it does not do this with the apple tv
They are being listed in the order they were added to iTunes by the looks of it.
I've deleted a couple of series and readied them and they are all going to the bottom of the list, regardless of metadata.
It does at least give a solution, which is to remove them and re-add in the order you want. That isn't as bad as it sounds, as they are mostly in the correct order in finder. It's just those that start with "The" that are a problem.
I'm sure that iTunes will be fixed but it will take a few weeks. I think I'm going to have to invest the couple of hours to sort it, or the grumbles from wife/son will get too much.

That was my other option, but it would take a few hours to do that. I think that deleting and re-adding will be quicker, but obviously is a lot more messing about than just restoring.
There are ongoing problems though. All new additions will just go to the bottom until Apple sort it.
they definitely aren't being listed in the order they were added.
the shows at the top of my list are some of the oldest that were added to my itunes library.
the very newest ones added are way down the list.
Yes, the oldest are at the top and the newest are at the bottom.
You may be different, but mine are definitely being listed in the order they were added. That is why, if I add them in alphabetical order they end up sorted correctly.

as you said, it may be that way for you, but it certainly isn't for me.
the last tv show i added (3 seasons of a particular show) are not at the top of the list, but are in the middle in no particular order.
if i change the sorting method on the appletv to "by date" then it does what you say, but setting the sort to "by show" sets it to some random ordering.
