Suggestions for revised functions/missing a removed function
A couple of things have occurred to me lately which would, I think, be useful:
1. The option to "suggest as main image" for an overall series. We have this for individual episodes of a TV series, but I've often seen the image for an overall series feature some minor character who is in no way representative, etc.
2. It would be nice if the option to choose names to go with an image only brought up the names in a particular episode. Otherwise it's incredibly difficult if, say, you're creating screenshots for a long-running series with a new cast each week (say, Play for Today).
As for the thing I miss... I used to love it when you could look at a TV series and select a view that ordered the episodes of the entire series in order of their user ratings. That was a real fun element that seems to have been removed?

Regarding #1, from
https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/images-videos/how-do-i-update-my-poster/GA8N34CWGUMJJM98?ref_=helpsrall#
Title Poster Images
A "poster" image can be displayed in the top left of the title page - otherwise known as a "primary" poster. You are able to submit more than one poster to a title, but can only have 1 'primary' poster at a time. Your choice should strike a good balance between the following criteria:
In other words, a TV series needs a Poster, while an episode needs a Still Frame. So to select a new primary image, you need to look in the Gallery among the Posters (or upload a new one).
Regarding #2: Absolutely agree.
Regarding the last paragraph: You can do that with Advanced Title Search, with a URL adjustment.
For instance,
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096697/
viewed in the "old version", has a link in the right column under the top 3 episodes that says
See more episodes »
namely:
https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?series=tt0096697&view=simple&count=250&sort=user_rating,desc
Just replace the title constant (tt0096697) with the series you want to sort.
OR, after setting up some other Advanced Title Search, add
&series=ttconstant
to the url.
(BTW, the rule for when that feature appears on the Series page is that the top 3 rated episodes need plot outlines. I don't see that feature on the New Version.)
PS, you may want to vote for your own Idea.

Regarding links to top episodes: "The Episodes section now includes a link to all top-rated episodes for TV series." (Title pages — new version available for sneak peek)
