Hello, i just experienced another problem with the list numbers. (I experienced a very similar issue two months ago and it was solved: https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/list-numbers-are-wrong)
I was updating the list when i noticed the number for "the portrait of a lady" was wrong:
it is listed as number 555 in the list, even though I typed in 559. The correct number does show when leaving editing mode:
I have found the four missing digits:
I want to continue editing my list but i'm afraid it will mess my order even further. I assume the error is the same that i experienced before and thats the reason why i also posted this message in that board. Thanks for the help :)

I've long had the same problem with list https://www.imdb.com/list/ls020853190/
At one point (apparently 15Jun), I copied the data out of this list, emptied it, and copied it back in, successfully renumbering everything. But the problem is back, and visible when Exporting the file as well.

confirmed that the position numbers are now sequential, beginning with 1, and the dates are preserved.

I have some lists of my tvshows and I always find them in a different order, switching places randomly. I have a specific order for the list and when this happens it drives me crazy. Can someone explain and help me, please?

Hi Petcu,

Thanks Petcu!
It would also be helpful if you let us know which list items moved (original and new position), and when you noticed the change. We will be able to use this to investigate changes.

The latest random switch I noticed is number 79 and 80. They switched places and I didn’t do it
Number 178 and 179 switched as well

Thanks, Petcu!
And when approximately did you notice that switch?
And when approximately did you notice that switch?
Whenever I go to add an item or change a position myself. When my list was shorter there were no problems from what I can remember, since it passed the 200 items mark I think it started to get buggy.
Hi! My topic was merged in this one and indeed it seems that I face the same issue as seen in the screenshots above. I also give you below a screenshot of the issue of my list:
I also provide the url of the list: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls057820068/edit?ref_=ttls_edt

I recently discovered several errors on my top 250 list, that need fixing. There are three actors with the same list number. On the last actor at the bottom, on the last page has the number 248. Here's a couple of screen shots:

Dear IMDb
Yet again. I am now experiencing yet another numbering problem on another list in the edit mode: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls027340260/ .
Hopefully this issue can be rectified in the near future - I'm running out of lists that can be successfully edited.
Thanks in advance.

Dr-Faustus,
I'm not sure if the person (Col Needham) who merged your topic here also made sure someone on staff was looking to repair your lists. I know they are massive efforts with LOTS of traffic, and should be considered a valuable part of IMDb.
The good news is that IMDb seems able to repair the list, but I don't know if they're trying to determine why it happens. I've only had it on 1 list (that I've found). The fact that one of your 3 damaged is a million-viewed list is significant.
The good news is this topic shows as "in progress." It would have been better if you'd gotten a reply from staff saying they're working on it.

Yes, the appropriate team has been alerted. Although we can repair individual lists (which is what should happen here). Fixing the underlying root cause is not easy, especially as even simulating the conditions under which it occurs is difficult.
I am big list user myself, although around 50% of mine are for private use (including all of the larger ones). If you can get access to a mobile / tablet device which supports list re-ordering in edit mode within the IMDb app, then this is by far an easier option than the web interface. At least at the moment until we can address the numerous problems with editing lists on the web site, sorry.

Hi Dr-Faustus,
I've asked for our data team to help review the three lists you've referenced, and will keep you updated.
Thanks in advance for your patience.

@ Col Needham,
I take it the mobile/tablet device you reference is not Android in nature. I just tried on my phone, and saw no way to movie items on my list, nor any "Edit" function. I did see that I could delete items, and view the list with various sorts, but when I tired to hold an item and drag it elsewhere, that just scrolled the list.

Only IMDb can fix the problem in the list without altering the Date Added.
If you don't care about Date Added, just create another list, and move the items there. If you want to keep the same URL, then move the items back to the old list after it's been emptied. (Been here, done this.) They should get new position numbers, in sequence, no gaps.
