I want to see correct cast order in movie info. Correct order, same like IMDB cast order, main actor at the top of list, other actors at the bottom. Now actors in the cast list sort by idActor. And actor with id=1 (first actor added to database) at the top of cast list of ALL movies in his(her) filmography.

Same problem was with music video, but now all work fine:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=32585

Cast order of music video is always correct, movie and TV series cast is always messed. It look a little unfair.

It's possible add to actorlinkmovie, actorlinktvshow, actorlinktvepisode tables new field with role order?
For example:
idActor=12
idMovie=1230
strRole="Old lady"
OrderRole=15

Or may be add to movie, tvshow and episode tables new text field with actors list (same way like field c10 in musicvideo table)?
For example:
c22="Russell Crowe / Christian Bale / Logan Lerman / Dallas Roberts / Ben Foster / Peter Fonda / Vinessa Shaw / Alan Tudyk / Luce Rains / Gretchen Mol"
I don't need correct order for full cast, but correct order for first 10 main actors would be great.

Please, help me It's my first feature request. Sorry my poor English.

A patch would be most welcome. See VideoDatabase.cpp.

Note that the order would be the order of whatever was scraped which may or may not be "correct" in any significant way, but at least would be consistent.

Cheers,
Jonathan

I don't think I'm good enough for making patches But I found two corresponding tickets. Sounds like it's not useless feature. I hope someone will notice these tickets. I need only wait...

I just pushed a commit (https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/e4db...f448f09081) which adds this functionality BUT it does not work with pre-existing movies, tv shows or episodes already scraped to the database. You will have to remove all videos from your database and re-scrape them to get the actors listed in the same order as on IMDb (or whatever scraper site you use).

Thank you very much for your reply so quickly. It's exactly what I want!
