Hello,

I am working on a feature that should support finding movies and shows by searching for cast(persons) using TMDB API.
The results from the "known_for" section should be used along with the results got from movies and shows search. There are two options:

• use multi search https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/search/multi-search,
  
• use person search https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/search/search-people.
  

If we decide to use multi search, we need to have separate sections for results of movies, shows and people.
However, from what I've seen, there is no way to ensure that all three types are gonna be present in the results and to know the numbers.
The biggest concern regarding both options is the sorting of the results (both sorting of persons list and "known_for" section for each person).

One example: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/person?query=russell+c
Russell Crowe has the highest popularity, but is 17th in the list.
Also, I am not sure how the items (movies and shows) inside the single actor’s list are sorted.

This discussion has confirmed to me that there is no way to impact the sorting of results
https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/5c4b25700e0a26495ad12167?language=gl-ES.

Is there any plan for this to be implemented in the future or to somehow impact the results?
Or can you propose the solution for this problem with the TMDB API?

Thanks in advance,
Katarina
