I hope the rework of Fanart and Poster DL tabs are satisfactory.

Been using MC for many years - fantastic piece of kit.

Recently, I've looked at a few movies and their "Cast" listing within Kodi.

Previously, these were listed by having the stars appears first, now it would seem that the cast list is any-old-how...and sometimes you have to scroll through the list a long way to find the star you are looking for. I prefer the stars list first.

Is there a setting in MC that changes this behavior. I've looked for it, but couldn't find anything.

Keep up the great effort. Thx

Update: Been looking at this and found that within the nfo the actors are listed with their star status first. That would mean that loading the nfo into Kodi has somehow changed this, because they are listed differently through the interface.

Media Companion loads the actors into the nfo by their sort order. If this is not available then actors are stored in the order they are scraped.
ie:

Code:

<stars>Danny Trejo, Mickey Rourke, Anthony Michael Hall</stars>
    <actor>
        <id>11160</id>
        <name>Danny Trejo</name>
        <role>Guerrero</role>

        <order>0</order>
    </actor>
    <actor>
        <id>2295</id>
        <name>Mickey Rourke</name>
        <role>Lucifer</role>
        <thumb>http://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/AvGzQ8fvjurGmZW3W1wlQ5WfSeT.jpg</thumb>
        <order>1</order>
    </actor>
    <actor>
        <id>1904</id>
        <name>Anthony Michael Hall</name>
        <role>Red Hernandez</role>
        <thumb>http://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/ui3mCBPiNiDlYvhztJ0F1onSB4j.jpg</thumb>
        <order>2</order>
    </actor>
    <actor>
        <id>2133</id>
        <name>Dina Meyer</name>
        <role>Calathea Massey</role>
        <thumb>http://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/a208ijs7X3u8lPzKWHeXSp3PiMd.jpg</thumb>
        <order>3</order>
    </actor>

Note: the entry <stars> is not used by Kodi, only for Media Companion. Kodi ignores this entry.
Order of actors is identified by <order>

Testing four movies in Kodi 15, Kodi 16 and Kodi 17 Nightly, all movies show the actors in the order that Media Companion places then in the nfo.
The one movie I have that does not have an <order> info for the actors, Kodi also loaded in the same sequence that they are in the nfo.

For reference, I got Kodi to scan one Movie in, and then exported this movie to an nfo. This movie did not have an nfo, Kodi scraped directly from TheMovieDb.

Code:

<actor>
        <name>Andy Serkis</name>
        <role>Caesar</role>
        <order>0</order>
        <thumb>http://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/nQRsxFveJaUIlZ4GYWDe9uJ6u2f.jpg</thumb>

        <role>Koba</role>
        <order>2</order>

    <actor>
        <name>Keri Russell</name>
        <role>Ellie</role>
        <order>3</order>

    </actor>

Kodi also uses the <order> tag for actors.

Sorry, I can not reproduce this issue.
