Numbering Issue in List Editing Mode

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Can you clarify what you are using to edit your list? Are you on desktop or an app?

Thanks.

Jaime,
The problem is with the data. Here's a screenshot of some of the Exported data. Notice the repeated position numbers 1212 and 1215.

This is a long-standing intermittent problem (dating back to at least the big system updates a couple of years ago), and the tech team seems to be able to correct the position numbers without altering the created/modified dates. I wonder if they've ever determined and fixed the Cause of the problem, or if this is a newly-infected list.

Dr-Faustus,
Since you have many longish, oft-edited (and oft-viewed!) lists, and will likely experience this problem again, you might want to make sure you provide the location of the corrupted position numbers in your subsequent reports, and mention that the data itself is visibly wrong when Exported. And  whether you edit on desktop or app.

Hi Jaime & bderoes

Thanks bderoes for articulating this problem so effectively. True, this is not the first time I've experienced this problem, and will probably experience it again. I would just like to point out that I am using a desktop device. Also, there is an additional numbering issue occurring on page 8 in edit-mode:  1756, 1758, 1758, 1759, 1761, 1761, 1762.

Anyway, thanks for all your effort. It is appreciated.

Dear IMDb

As predicted, I am experiencing an identical problem with another list: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls046891728/  - Film Life: War and Revolution. I am using a desktop device and the numbering issue on page one in edit mode is as follows: 18, 19, 19, 20

Your help in regards to this issue will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

hey guys can you fix this for me. I simply tried it myself by correcting the numbers early on, but it won't save.

At the start of the list there are some double or missing numbers and then there is also a gap. If I try to renumber, I get an error message.
