Question

Why isn't the filename of the movie used in Video app on iPad?

I've numbered the filenames of a series of cartoons so that they sequentially on my Windows 8 laptop. I loaded them onto my iPad mini, but on the Video app, they do not appear under their filenames, but under another name (in the metadata?). How can I organize the cartoons so that they appear sequentially in the Video app, as they should be in order to be understood as a cartoon series?

iPad Mini, iOS 8.1.3, iTunes 12

I can't recall the name of the program, but there are ones that you can use to edit the date and time of a file (look for properties editor). Make all the files have teh same date and time (to the second) then they should default to name order. (I'm presuming these are home made video files)

If you edit the metadata in iTunes, you should be able to give each video an episode number. You'll need to set the kind as TV show.
