Hi all,
When clicking on a person, say James Cameron, the list of movies that appear under him is only sorted alphabetically, regardless if he directed the movie, wrote it, acted in it or produced it etc.
As seen here:

Apparently he has writing credits on Alita, Rambo and Strange Days but I don't find those movies the most relevant to him. This also stands out quite a bit when there are only 10 movies showing unless clicking the "more" button (is there an option to display more by default?).
Ideally I think the page should first determine what the main profession of the person is, and then display movies where the person operates in this capacity first, then the other movies also categorized as what role the person has. Or if that is too complicated, sort as director first.
In James Camerons case it would be:
As Director:
- Aliens
- Avatar
etc
As Writer:
- Alita
etc
As Actor:
etc
People in the film industry have their fingers in so many projects that the lists under them in Jellyfin can be quite confusing and looks wrong to me, especially as I often browse through directors.
On a side note - I'm relatively new to Jellyfin and really enjoy it, massive thanks to the devs!
