In Progress

Country order changes

Movies where there is currently no country with order number 1 because USA has apparently been relegated:

Amadeus (I have already submitted an edit for this one)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086879/

Arrival

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2543164/

Gladiator

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0172495/

Shutter Island

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1130884/

Wonder Woman

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0451279/

Star Trek

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0796366/

Lost in Translation

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0335266/

and more

Looks strange to me. You may want to investigate the previous contributions.

This problem is more complex than it looks at first.

I have restrictions for companies in the submission form, no edit can be done without evidence.

How it can be that some other guys can edit in idiotic way all they want?

For example, the mentioned Arrival (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2543164/), look at the distributors section:

I'm just tired to eliminate such idiocracy! What a tiny brain can use the order field this way? This field is intended only for on-screen credits!

@MAthePA​ - Hi, 

In order for us to understand the company distributor order issue, can you clarify a bit further so that we can gather the information? Are you trying to order per each country's theatrical release which is why there are a bunch of duplicate numbers? or is it something else?

Hi @Maya,

To stick on facts, it is necessary to keep all the order fields only for on-screen data. Whenever additional information from other sources is placed to the related sections (in this case, Country of origin and Distributors), such should go additionally after the on-screen data and may be ordered automatically according to system algorithms (they are different for the two mentioned categories).

Since there was no understanding from the team at first glance, I'm not going to discuss this here and prefer to start a separate topic when I have free time for deep explanations of the things that seem obvious to me.

Reason is the soul of all law.
