@HorstUnfortunately 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.
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
Sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime.
We can fix individual cases if you provide the URLs, but please be aware that a single edit can re-break the ordering until the new list software is launched.
@Jon same url as previous topic. I will need to dig deep to find the exact numbers that are missing, but I can say already now that if I add a new person and change the number to 400 for example, then the person shows up at 402 in the list, so there have to be 2 omissions somewhere. I just went for a workaround to simply put in 398 if I want them at position 400.
