Hello. Can you help? In one of my stories, I have a situation where if I click on a certain actor/character, it takes me to another actor/character in my cast. I think this came about because I rearranged the order of the actors/characters. Initially, I had actor/character A before actor/character B on my cast list, but I then rearranged the order so actor/character B came just before actor/character B. Unfortunately, when I now click on actor/character B, I am taken to actor/character A's page. Are you able to iron out this glitch? Thank you.
Question about a glitch (to mycast)
And now another glitch. I've just added an actor to hitherto unfilled role, and that actor/character has been transferred to the top of my cast list rather than at the spot I want them to be (which was a few actors/characters down the cast list). What is going on with these glitches?!?
It's easy to determine that the order of characters on the list is determined by popularity (number of suggestions, numbers of votes total, and I think proportion of votes). The lists are NOT designed to be presented in order of importance to the plot but rather in order of interest to users as determined by their suggestions.
I don't think that's true. Firstly, my stories are private so far (I may release them publicly in time), so the only casting suggestions are my own. Secondly, all the characters are listed in my preferred order, for the most part. It was only after I added a cast member to a character that had remained unfilled that the order was disrupted, and this character/actor was placed at the start of my cast list. As a side point, I am quite methodical about the order I want my characters to be listed in. I tend to go by order of the date they were first created.
There is not a way to custom sort characters on the list, they are ordered based on popularity - characters with the most suggestions, votes, and comments show first. This is to ensure the most relevant characters show first. It is unlikely we will change this in the future. If you want certain characters to show first, you can always go in and add comments or votes to bump them up. As for the clicking on one character taking you to another character, let us know the story/character name and we can try to fix that.

Here's the link to the story I'm referring to: https://www.mycast.io/stories/p/NmBoTCFFtRgZ7ev4ME3Qow.If you click on 'Mrs. Thorne' you are taken to the page for the 'Volunteer Bimbo' (and before anyone complains about sexism, this isn't a name I came up with - it's taken directly from the film Batman Returns). Also, here's the link to the other issue I referred to: https://www.mycast.io/stories/p/Ona5rI1Ql-9wCo4TqIR5hQ. 'Angela Chen' should not be the first/main character in a story featuring Superman, Lois Lane, Lex Luthor and Perry White.
OK, those issues should be fixed now!
