strange translations and other weirdness
[edit]Hi
This appears to be machine translated, or grammatically ESL.
I have cl-span'd the first entries of "entries" - which I believed might be ticket sales, until I saw the totals at the bottom of the list. It might well still be ticket sales, but strangely adding them all up for each of the main actors and putting the details under the list of films.
There is also a strange inclusion of (1)/(2) ... etc. next to a director with multiple films. While I understand the intention is to show that a director has directed more than one film, clicking the little arrows next to the column title sorts the list by "director", for example, and one can easily see how many they made.
While it is not confusing, it is not really helpful either, as sorting by most of the columns puts the list of directors names in a different order. Now the bracketed numbers are out of order, and it just looks messy as the numbers do not have relevance - one can just look in the year column to get that info. Even worse, when sorting by "director", the order appears as (10),(1),(2), due to the fact that 10 is lower than 1 in the digital sorting world. To put that right would mean changing them all to (01),(02),(03) ... etc., to ensure the correct sort order.
I would suggest removing them, but then that is up to the interested parties to agree on.
