Watchlist Numbering Broken

My watchlist numbering is broken. When I go to my Watchlist, and click "Edit," the numbering is messed up.  Multiple entries share the same number. If I try to add a title to the end of the list, it give it a random number much higher than the total number of movies in the list. There are many other reports of this bug on this forum, so I was hoping to have the same fix applied to my list. Thanks.

Hi Sally,

I received a proposed solution in an email, however that comment has now disappeared from this post. The member's name was kafeelshah (I'm assuming this was the support team). Would you be able to forward on my below response?

The solution was:

there is a workaround that you can use to fix the numbering on your watchlist:

  1. Go to your watchlist and click "Edit."
  2. Click the "Select All" checkbox at the top of the list.
  3. Click the "Change Numbering" button and select "Sequential."
  4. Click the "Save" button.

This will renumber your watchlist in sequential order, starting from 1.

However, I can't spot any of these options. I can go on the list, I can click edit, however there is no 'Change Numbering' button. See the below picture. 

I checked if these options appear in the IMDB app (as I'm using the desktop website), however these options don't appear there either. And actually sorting on the IMDB app further messed up the lists ordering. It's a glitch I spotted about two years ago, where if you start editing lists on the app, it randomly changes the ordering of some entries without actually editing the numbering. This happened again now. So I always stuck with the website. 

Thanks.
