My list order is weird

My watchlist and other lists I've made, recently it's been acting up. When I enter an number to place the movie in my list, the movie does not go to the spot, and it messes up the order of the list... When I use the app, it's even worse, and messes up more movie orders. I don't know how to fix that... I've been managing that my watchlist for 10 years.

Recently? It's been doing that forever. The site's sorting algorithm is unstable. The workaround is to do your renumbering TWICE.

Actually, I realised there are people who make lists with 1,000+ entries. Renumbering twice works, with high probability, for the lists I make, which rarely have more than ~60 items. This is something IMDb should address.
