What happened?

When sorting podcast episodes by Season the subsequent sorting follows the order episodes were selected to be downloaded/were actually downloaded.

This compounds with the bulk downloader grabbing episodes in the order that they were clicked in the checklist.
eg. Clicking 2,4,6,8,10,9,7,5,3,1 -> Clicking download -> Clicking sort by season would show this order of episodes.

What did you expect to happen?

When sorting by season I would expect the orders to be sorted by season->episode or season->publication date instead of season->order downloaded.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Add podcast by URL: https://www.spreaker.com/show/4488937/episodes/feed
  2. Select some episodes to download
  3. Sort by Season
  4. Observe order of episodes

There are no seasons or episodes defined in the RSS feed for that podcast so I'm guessing you set those manually.

I just added the feed and hit the search for episodes button, any selected that way auto populated the Season and Episode fields
