TV app playlists on macOS playing episodes out of order

Playlists on the TV app on MacOS 27.2 is completely screwed up. Whenever I create a playlist and then play tv shows from it, it plays the next episode in the series rather than the next episode on the playlist. Also, I loved the Column view. I could see Last Played, Play Counts, and all kinds of other options. Please bring that back. Why change it? I have loved using playlists for TV Shows and movies when it was iTunes and then the last couple of years for the TV app, but now playlists are completely broken and unusable.

Provide Feedback to Apple: Because these changes are built into the app's current behavior rather than a simple toggle, the best way to request the return of Column view and proper playlist sequencing is via the Apple Product Feedback Page.

That's fine, but the way playlists are working, is broken. Why create a playlist to play tv episodes and then it just plays the next episode in the series, not the playlist?
