Description of the bug

On a large number of backdrops for a library item (4+ but sometimes also less), the order of bacldrop images are getting shuffled despite rearranging them repeatedly. This does not seem to happen with library items with only 2 or 3 images.

I haven't been able to ascertain whether it's being shuffled or simply returning to a position undefined by user (e.g. filename or order that images were downloadet)

Reproduction steps

Upgrade to 10.11

What is the current bug behavior?

Upon arranging backdrop image order by using the left and right arrows. Images will appear to shuffle position when a set amount of time has passed.

What is the expected correct behavior?

When rearranging backdrop images for their order, this is saved upon exit.

Jellyfin Server version

10.10.0+

Rearranging backdrop images:

After 5 to 10 minutes has passed, backdrop images are shuffled. I haven't tested if it's truly random or the same (i.e., according to filename or similar):

Can confirm that it appears that the backdrop images are reverting to a predefined order after an unknown period of time has passed. It is unknown what this order is, i.e., whether the images return to the predefined position due to their filename or the order thst they were downloadet/added to the library item.

Secondly, it is also unknown what triggers it. For now it seems to happen randomly - not by a set period of time or actioms. But it's worth noting that I did edit and rearrange a large number of backdrop images across multiple library items.

I encounter the same issue on Jellyfn 10.11.5. Try re-arranging from the UI but it won't persist. The order appeared in the UI isn't the same as in the filesystem either, which makes it unpredictable.
