Back to School (1986) writing credits

As you can see in this snapshot, the writing credits for the movie “Back to School” are not placed in the proper order. I’ve tried to find every reliable source I could to fix it, but all of them came back with “unable to verify”. Does anyone know how to fix this?

For clarification, I've posted the screen shots of the writing credits for Back to School below:

https://youtu.be/gejDNMhwRuQ?t=258

https://youtu.be/gejDNMhwRuQ?t=262

The screenplay credits appear on screen before the story credits. So for IMDb purposes, here's how the writing credits should be listed:

Kampmann, Steven (screenplay by) 1,1,1

Porter, William (I) (screenplay by) (as Will Porter) 1,1,2

Torokvei, PJ (screenplay by) (as Peter Torokvei) 1,2,1

Ramis, Harold (screenplay by) 1,2,2

Dangerfield, Rodney (story by) 2,1,1

Fields, Greg (I) (story by) 2,1,2

Snee, Dennis (story by) 2,1,3

I see that Dennis Snee is currently listed as "1,1,3" when he should be "2,1,3". That is, he has the second kind of writing credit (screenplay first, but he is for story), there is only one team of story writers, and he is the third person listed on that team.

If you have already tried to correct the order for Dennis Snee, try re-submitting with a link back to this thread with the screen shots and the URLs of the specific times in the YouTube video where these credits can be found (as provided above in this post).

Good luck!

It's displaying exactly as specified by contributor(s). Here's the backend data, which is what would need to be altered to fix the ordering:

Here's the help article that discusses the special ordering parameter for writers:

There are some features unique to the writers list. Attributes In addition to those attributes common to all lists (see the separate guide), there are several that are specific to the writers list, used to make the specific contributio ...  Read more.

Hi BrianKT & all-

Thank you for reporting the incorrect order in these writing credits for this film! I have checked them out and I can see that they have already been fixed with the respective order following the screengrabs and the information provided by gromit82. 

The changes are already displaying live on the site for Back to School (1986).

Thanks again!

Cheers!
