TV.app on Sequoia problem

After upgrading to macOS 15 Sequoia, I cannot use forward and backward arrows within any tv shows having more than one episode. For example, if I have saved several episodes of a show (let's say, Expedition Unknown), the forward arrow key does not move from episode 1 to episode 2 but might jump to episode 45 or even to an episode of an entirely different TV show. Does anyone have a work-around for this?

iMac 27″, macOS 15.0

Thanks, AlWeir. (Your suggestion will probably be more useful for Peter Cheyne.) I have done the reboot and other things but I think this is a coding issue. Before Sequoia, changing episode numbers within a show would not automatically re-sort the episodes unless I turned the TV app off and back on. That issue seems to have been fixed with Sequoia, but now the forward/back arrows within 'Get info' do not function correctly. Since I insert and/or reorder episodes often, I hope Apple gets this fixed soon. For me, it has been a real pain.

Update - The app now moves through episodes alphabetically rather than by episode number. Useful for some but not for me since I list my individual episodes according to historic date (for example) and want to move through my lists that way. I guess I am now out of luck unless Apple miraculously lets me do this my way rather than their [new] way.

Work-around: I just discovered that the navigation issue I have had occurs only when I view a program using the 'Genre' button. When I find the program using the broader 'TV Shows' button (which includes all Genres, not just the one I want), the arrow keys within the 'Get Info' move by episode number (that is, to the next or previous episode number) rather than moving alphabetically by title. Odd that the navigation is different depending on how get to the list of episodes but I can live with it.
