The Episode Organization card is found on the Series Details page. It allows you to control various episode organizational settings:
Series Type
There are two ways to display your episodes on the listening platforms, Episodic and Serial.
Episodic - episodes will appear with the latest release at the top. This would normally be used for regular (e.g. weekly) series that don't need to be listened to in order.
Serial - episodes will appear with the first at the top. This is used for series that need to be listened to in order. If you have multiple seasons the most recent season will appear first.
To adjust your Series Type head to you main Series page, scroll down to Episode Organization and click Series Type.

Add Episode Numbers to RSS Titles
ART19 supports episode numbers, which Apple began supporting with iOS 11. Apple recommends not including series title, episode number, or season number in the episode title. Because you may want to preserve this information in your titles for other podcatchers besides Apple, we’ve added the option to set an RSS Title Format. If used, the clean Title will be displayed in the Apple Podcasts app, and the RSS Title will be displayed in podcatchers that are not leveraging the new tags.
Make sure the "Add Episode Numbers to RSS Titles" toggle is switched to Yes. Then you can customize how you'd like your RSS Titles to be formatted.
To manage specific episode titles, use the Episode Organization Tool by clicking on the pound symbol (#) at the top right of the Episode List View.
In the new Episode Organization Tool, you can assign one or many episodes to specific seasons, and you can change their episode type.
You can have the system auto-number all episodes in your catalog by selecting one or many episodes and pressing the Renumber button. By default, bonus and trailer episodes will receive the same number as the previous or next full episode. If you select unique numbers in the modal that appears when you press Renumber, bonus and/or trailer episodes will have distinct numbers.
Episode Numbers and Episode Titles can also be changed individually via the input fields on each row.
Finally, selecting Series Settings in the top right corner of the card (the gear icon) will enable you to adjust Series Settings without immediately going live with the changes. This will enable you to preview the new settings while you work.
