When viewing my list it shows fine in alphabetical order.

However when I come to edit the list it shows the titles in order they were entred which makes finding a title very difficult at times.

thanks

This is a known problem. See Unable to sort lists by 'date modified' and by default they are listed by 'date created'. for details.

But this is a different problem, they are not in title order when you edit list. (?)

This is how lists work.

You can change the sorting and the way they display, but the underlying data remains in the order you added it, unless you've moved them around. I tend to move mine around so they are in chronological order, which makes it easier to find things to edit them.

Some people export their lists and reorder them in something like Excel, but without an import feature this isn't so useful.

The only solution is to sort them by hand into the form you want it to be in. Better to do this early on and then add films directly into lists.
