Please follow the official guidelines (links are clickable):
A "desired" profession can not be "set" for name pages.
"Filmographies are ordered automatically on our site and the order of the order of the credits/categories is based on the number of titles in each one.
For example: if someone is credited on 2 titles as director, 5 titles as cinematographer and 1 as actor/actress, their listing will display the cinematographer credits first, then the directing credits and finally the acting one. Please note that TV episodes count as individual titles."
"For 'self' type appearances, 'Himself' or 'Herself' should be used as the character name ('Themselves' for groups)."
"...The recent surge in popularity of 'making of' featurettes, reality TV series and other productions where famous (and not-so-famous) people routinely appear as themselves had increased the size of many filmographies to the point where it was hard to tell at a glance which credits were actual acting roles.
To reduce the clutter we list some of those credits separately, based on the type of title they appeared in: performances in regular films, TV-series, TV-movies etc. are still listed in the main filmography section; appearances in documentaries, TV-specials (like the Academy Awards ceremony broadcast), making-of featurettes etc are now listed in a separate section called "Himself" or "Herself", depending on the person's gender.
Since the distinction is based on the type of title and not on the individual credit, a restricted number of appearances may show up in the wrong section..."Hope this helps
