Hi! I am working with /person/popular and looking for a way to get that response sorted by most popular, descending/ascending? I don't see any sort query params in the docs. I can get pages, but page items are not sorted by popularity.
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/person/popular?api_key=<>&language=en-US&page=1
Thanks!

Hi @Torbjor,
The /*/popular methods are indeed sorted by popularity, can you show me what you're seeing when they're not?

Thanks for the reply! Soon after I sent this I realized I wasn't asking the right question. You are right. What I'd like to ask is, how do you measure popularity? For example, 'Wonder Woman' is in first place today with a popularity score of 106 but 'Beauty and the Beast' is in second place with 65.

Popularity is calculated by a variety of things like page views, the number of ratings and favourites/watchlist additions per day and then release date.
