Cast order results

Hi
When I make a request for a movie's cast the order is sometimes random. For example the movie "Les miserables" (1998) shows the order correctly but the movie "The Matrix" (1999) gives a result out of order. Even though Keanu Reeves is the star and has the order '0' his name is way down. Is there anyway to call casts and get the results with the correct alphabetical order? Also, is there no search in this forum?
Over to you

The order that the cast is returned is not going to necessarily be in order of the
orderattribute. You can do this client side. This is why the value is provided alongside the results.Search will arrive at one point, this discussion area is something I've made from scratch so new features are being added all the time.

Thanks, I already ordered the results on my side. I do have one other question though: the movie "Billy Elliot" returns the first 3 cast members (already ordered) as Julie Walters, Jamie Bell and Jamie Draven. Shouldn't Jamie Bell be the first one? Is this an error?

It's will be returned in whatever order is saved. If it's wrong, use the sort function on cast pages. Keep in mind the data on the API is cached so you won't see the change on the API for about a day.
