Additional languages depicted as first language when there is no number/order
Hi folks,
I shall just use this title
as an example:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3822818/?ref_=adv_li_tt
As you can see in the screenshot, Spanish is listed as the main language with English being second.
The real main language here, however, is obviously German, which only stands in third place. The reason is that in the languages section German has order number 1, Polish has 2 and French has 3, which is absolutely correct. However, Spanish and English do not have any order numbers attached to them. Apparently, this automatically gives them a 0 and elevates it ahead of German. Which is certainly a bug in my opinion.
I will fix it for the above title now, so it is not an issue there anymore, but maybe you can find a general solution, i.e. a way that puts languages without numbers at the end of the order instead of at first place. Would be much appreciated.
Love,
Horst

Despite Will's attempts to justify it, I agree that the display doesn't make sense. When a language has order number 1 it should be listed first.
While the display can be fixed for each title by adding order numbers for all listed languages, the display still causes errors in the meantime. It may be with good reason that languages are added without order numbers - it may be unclear what the correct order is, especially if the data is based on secondary sources.

As Will previously commented, there are display reasons behind this; a large number of primary languages were being submitted without an order number. Previously these were incorrectly being moved along to last in the display.
This was obviosuly incorrect, so we changed the logic to move them to the start. In most cases this change is correct, however in the above example this logic doesn't always come out correctly however you can override this by adding order numbers to the languages.
I hope this helps
