Two English Girls Genre Priority Order Bizarre Exception

Normally, genres are in alphabetical order.

Example: Drama, Romance

But somehow, Two English Girls/Les deux Anglaises et le continent (1971) seems to be an exception, "Romance" comes before "Drama". I wonder why.

These are probably not the only exceptions, I didn't check all the possible genre pairings.

Hi cinephile -

I checked both the old page version and the new page version and am seeing the order: DRAMA, ROMANCE on both displays:

Are you still seeing the inconsistency?

Michelle,

someone may have edited the order of the genres for Two English Girls, since they are in alpha order on the Edit page too.

But the next link provided by cinephile still displays Romance,Drama:

Firelight (1997)

Somehow, I didn't know that was possible.

I don't know how either. But I remember looking at the Edit view of Two English Girls when this was reported, d the Edit view order matched the Title page order. Now they're both alphabetized. But Firelight still shows reverse-alpha for both Edit and View.

I think it would've needed a delete & add of Romance.

Ah, that makes sense. I don't know why I couldn't think of that.
