I'm not sure if it's a) a bug, b) intentional or c) been previously mention but ... the Episodes ordered: field only shows for the upcoming season once a new episode is added. A show can have the previous year properly filled out, it's episode number already reached, the new season has year & month of premiere as well as the episode order but it doesn't show up in the 'Show Info' box. I don't see why we need to know when the first episode airs to show this data. Whether the series premieres in September, October, or next May doesn't matter if we already have the episode order on file.
Sooooo, short story long, I'd like to suggest the system be adjusted to show the episode order for the next season if that information is known, encoded and the current season is over.
