I could open several threads as this time it is a list of things worrying me, but I try to pack all in one. So it might be more to read, maybe I do something wrong but I presume we got more technical problems again.

1. We all know the window appearing ""Online" - "Refresh Updated Profiles from Invelos..."

I disbelief the "quality" of this window because of one thing: You see the column header "Titles", and no matter how often I click on this header to sort the updates by title, they never get sorted this way. So far I am not able to find out WHAT they are sorted by, but so far not the right way. Just imagine you get updates for 3 or 4 TV Series, each with 20, 30 or even more discs. So on this image you can see exactly that. And it's a little bit confusing seing Series A, B, B, A, C, C, A, C, B or something similar. Could anybody explain me that kind of "sort"?

2. Contributing with the correct parsing, contribution accepted, no update since then but getting one with the WRONG parsing!
The crew-member I am speaking about is "Anthony - Santa Croce", producer for several episodes of the series "Monk". I splitted it to show you the right parsing. That means: "Santa" is not a middle name but part of the name. So why do I get "my" correct contribution back as a wrong parsed update?

3. Similar like 2. is: Correcting and contributing the running time (of the box with the whole series "Monk"), contribution accepted and released, no update since then but getting one with the former (wrong) running time

For number 1 I guess profiler sorts by anything else, but without any "technical" explanation I am not able to understand what this "anything" could be.
For numbers 2 + 3 I'd like to say that either anything on the site in the process "behind" runs the wrong way or somebody does any manual change for purpose (which would make no sense).

Anybody else similar experiences? Any senseful explanations for that confusing facts?

@T!M:
Sorry, but I have to totally disbelief in some of your explanations.

According to #1: As at least 90 % of the updates I am talking about are for TOTALLY NEW (child-)profiles, just CREATED BY ME, then MY sort title should be the one profiler sorts by as there has been no update for the initial profiles yet. If my sort title isn't the one profiler sorts by, then your definition can't be true

#2: Accepting an update with WRONG parsing would automatically replace "Anthony - Santa Croce" with "Anthony - Santa - Croce". And as I didn't type the data myself but took it from the parent profile, they are allready correct in the database.

#3: Like mentioned in the first post: My correction of time WAS the latest update, just released, no time for another one. That's the reason for my confusion.

@mediadogg
Sorry if you see my response as kind of an attack and I don't know what made you thinking this way.

But what in your opinion could I have done alternatively? No matter if T!Ms response includes facts or just an opinion, my answer was nothing else than an evidence that he can't be right.

That's odd.  It seems to work for me.

@mediadogg:

They are never.... :-)

I still stand by everything I said about sorting in the "Refresh Updated DVD Profiles" screen, but there's one more issue at play that wasn't clear to me from Magmadrag's original post, and which I therefore didn't address - which is that every single profile we see on his screenshot was a newly submitted profile. None of them were approved updates to existing profiles, but they were apparently all newly submitted (child) profiles. And they are always listed at the top of the "Refresh Updated DVD Profiles" screen, before the approved updates to existing profiles. Why is anyone's guess, but it's always been like that. New profiles first, then updated profiles.

How Invelos decides to sort those new profiles at the top of the list remains a mystery to me, but the rest, the approved updates to existing profiles, those are sorted based the way I explained earlier, by the original sort title that got set when those profiles were first submitted.

Altough I still can't understand why they are not sorted by title if I click on the column header... do you understand my confusion=

Certainly. If the software does offer the option to sort alphabetically by clicking on the column header, but subsequently doesn't actually *do* that when you click it, then that's confusing, indeed. It's just not something that we can fix - only Invelos could do that, but chances of that happening seem pretty slim nowadays...
