Is there a workaround wherein I can select and use "Alternate DVD Order" from TVDB?

Context - For SpongeBob SquarePants, my episodes are in "Streaming Order" which seems like it can be used by selecting "Alternate DVD Order", but on TVR, we only have DVD and Alternate Order.

I think this was changed recently on TVDB as it was initially under Alternate Order and my episodes were perfectly updated..... Looks like this is in line with all the issues happening at TVDB (changing things frequently, deleting shows, no moderators to name a few). 

I am just wondering if there is a workaround among the existing options on TVR to achieve this as I know there are no new updates being planned.

Only thing that I'm aware of is if you right-click and edit the tv show and go to the Advanced tab, there's a Use Alternate Order checkbox that you can enable. I assume if the source lists an alternate order for a particular show and this checkbox is enabled, TVRename will use that order instead.

Hey Steve

That was my initial setup, but turns out TVDB added another variant called "Alternate DVD Order" (in addition to DVD Order and Alternate Order), which is currently not feasible unfortunately in TVR.
