Adding titles/names to very long lists (and, right after, changing positions in list order)

Hello I will try to explain. Let's say I have a list of 400 titles, i.e. several pages and I add a new title, then it gets always added at the very end. Let's say we add the title while in list edit mode and we have page 1 open that shows the first 250 titles or so, then sometimes it happens that there is a message the title was added successfully to your list, but I have to go to page 2 to edit the position, and sometimes the title is added and it is impossible right away to change the position at the bottom. Is there any logic behind which of the two happens when? It looks fairly random to me.

What is the exact message/symptom when it's "impossible right away to change the position at the bottom"?

@bderoes​ the title is simply not listed at the page where I currently am. Sometimes it is, sometimes it is not.

Sometimes it says

249 abc

250 def

401 ghi

and sometimes it says

249 abc

250 def

"Congrats, the title was successfully added" (not the exact words)

and I have to go to the last page to change the order number

@Horst​ 

Yes, I've seen that behavior.

If I want to change the position of the incoming title, I'll go to the last page to add it, or reverse the order of the list first.

Yeah it's just easier though when I check the number where I want it in the list and I am at an early page that I can just put it there.
