Netflix Tries to Ship TV Series in Order

In the past I'd heard of folks getting TV series discs out of order, but according to Netflix help that has changed:
If a single DVD from a multiple DVD season is not available, then the rest of the DVDs for that season will be passed to ensure that the season is viewed in order. This may mean that if both Season 1 and 2 of a TV show are in your Queue, and Season 1 is passed because one DVD is not available, it is possible for Season 2 to ship prior to Season 1.
I guess I can stop interlacing two different series to reduce the odds of this happening.
For once, Blockbuster Online was way ahead of them.
Yes, this happened to me today. Disc 1 of Doctor Who had a wait, so it skipped past all 6 discs to my next selection. It sounds like this may have been a good thing after all.
