Episode numbering

I've been adding crew and cast details to the series Shortland Street for over a year now. As later years of the show have been grouped into Seasons from season 7 onwards, I have also put Year 2 (1993 episodes) Year 3 (1994 episodes) Year 4 episodes (1995 episodes) into seasons. This also matches production info provided by the production company who have been streaming the series. So, for example - the 1st episode of 1993 is Episode #421 counting from Episode 1, but in Season 3 becomes 3.1 However, in the past few days, someone has re-edited all the episodes from Season 3 and Season 4, so Episode 772 (counting from Episode 1) should be Season 4.47 but has been changed to 4.772. This is completely inaccurate. There are not 772 episodes made and transmitted in 1995. 772 is the TOTAL number of episodes made since the programme started Yesterday I changed some of this back, but can see this morning that Season 3 and most of Season 4 (which is incomplete until next episodes are streamed) have all been changed back to the incorrect numbering. I don't know what's going on. If you need any further info just ask, I'm not sure if what I'm describing makes sense. Rich
