List Bug Still Not Fixed

Now I made a copy of this list to fix it, and immediately after adding ONE entry to this new list, it got messed up again.

This is absolutely ridiculous. 

Two of the lists had their issues resolved, thankfully, but the third still has the numbering system messed up halfway through- here's an example of what it looks like:

Editing lists in this state is basically impossible as it throws the entire numbering system out of whack, resulting in a giant, disorganized mess, so I essentially have to copy everything to a brand new list to resolve it. As the lists get bigger, this becomes more time-consuming, and it becomes more aggravating when I run into the same issue not long after starting over.

Hi @noah_goucher ,

Thank you for your report of this issue. I have filed a ticket (ref. #D97097800) with the appropriate team for investigation.

@noah_goucher​ Unfortunately this is a long-standing bug in the lists system which especially affects large lists.  The lists system is now over 13 years old and is some of the oldest remaining software on IMDb. We are actively working upon its replacement as part of the on-going design and technology migration, which will address the issues. 

In the meantime, as we recently wrote here: 

If you have access to the IMDb iOS app via an iPhone or iPad, this is best way to manage lists on IMDb.  I have hundreds of lists, both private and public, which I manage via our app.  

The web interface will improve once it moves to the new technology, but right now the iOS app is the gold standard list implementation

Hope this helps and sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime.

@Col_Needham​ I don't have an iPhone or an iPad so that's not terribly helpful, no.
