So I am having this issue where Stremio uses the metadata for shows from TVDB while Trakt uses it from TMDB. A big problem with anime on Trakt is the absolute ordering it does making lists scroll entirely long!
Detailed description with additional context about the workflow
Fairy tail, frieren, Jujutsu Kaisen. Just 3 examples where Trakt uses absolute ordering while this is just not the preferable approach? Its insane to scroll thru instead of the seasons!

Unfortunately, most mods on TMDB have no common sense whatsoever and will stick with the rules like their own mother depends on them. See Season 2? - Discuss JUJUTSU KAISEN — The Movie Database (TMDB) and you’ll understand how frustrated everyone is, and how much mods lack emotional intelligence.
Fortunately, TMDB still has episode groups! See the seasons episode group for Jujutsu Kaisen, where episodes were grouped into their seasons. Old Trakt also supports these episode groups (hopefully New Trakt will, this is essential). They’re kind of hidden in the season menu of each series, and you can’t set an episode group as default for your up next or for your Stremio (if that’s what you’re looking for), but at least it’s there somewhere, which helps with tracking.
Hopefully New Trakt will give more importance to these episode groups, by allowing users to mark them as default for up next.
tmdb and anime have been a mess for quite some time now and have become totally unreliable. Another example is Frieren, wich just started with season 2 (this is being advertised on the official website as season 2) but because its numbered through tmdb says its season 1. Any possible discussion is being shot down also.
Is it maybe possible to switch for just anime to a more reliable source, there are plenty of alternatives for it. Even anidb is a better option then tmdb
