Request: Sort watchlist by displayed (English) title, not foreign title
Some movies have an English title and an original, foreign-language title. Sorting a watchlist alphabetically does so according to the latter, even though the title is displayed in the list in English. For example, the movie "Life and a Day" has a note "Original title: Abad va yek rooz"; it sorts as "Abad" rather than "Life." Request: Alphabetical sort of a watchlist will do so according to the displayed (in my case, English) titles, not the underlying original title, e.g. as "Life" instead of "Abad."

Some additional information if it's relevant: In my preferences, Title display country/region = United States, and Title display language = English.

Perhaps what is needed is a preference setting such as "Title sort language."

Additional problem: If the waitlist is exported as a CSV file, the titles (where relevant) will be the original foreign language, and the English title is not included at all. Request: Export the English title as well. Ideally, this would be English title first, just like the waitlist is displayed

Both aspects of this problem have been fixed: (1) My watchlist now sorts by the displayed title (in my case, English) instead of by the original, foreign-language title, and (2) The exported CSV file now includes separate columns for "Title" and "Original Title." Wonderful! Thank you to the IMDb staff for this nice improvement!
