Special appearance by Lady Gaga

In The Devil Wears Prada 2 end credits, Lady Gaga is credited as "special appearance by", and then comes the "Cast" header and the main cast list, which does not include Lady Gaga.

Should Gaga have cast order number 1 or would you treat it differently?

I ask partly because in some cases IMDb has been focused on who is in the "main cast section".

Gaga performs in the movie, but also has lines.

In any case, the way it is currently listed seems wrong.

Hi Peter_pbn,

Thank you for your question. 

I've looked into this and can confirm that Lady Gaga is now credited in the title's cast list with the attribute "special appearance by", and will be ordered last in the main cast list underneath the "As Themselves" credits in the title's cast list.

For reference, the "As Themselves" credits are listed as Actor/Actress credits and not Self credits because the people in this section of the credits are playing versions of themselves and are not just appearing as themselves, like in archive footage or a documentary for example. 

I hope this helps!
