Is there an option to edit the default order of my lists? This used to be an option but I can’t find it anymore. Do I have to manually re-sort a list if I want the default order to be A to Z? ---

I’m not looking to re-order the lists themselves, but the items (movies/shows) WITHIN the lists. Previously, I could set the default order to Alphabetical, by release date, or by date added etc. ---

Ah, sorry misunderstood. Isn’t there already a few sort orders for lists. ![Screenshot_20261001-222948.Moto App Launcher](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/trakt/original/3X/6/8/68a0d1f4efcd5f24f01d1f1ec09f5faedc75c558.jpeg) ---

This only changes the sort option for the time you are looking at it. I want to change the DEFAULT option. That way when I add something to the list it will automatically sort by Date Added, or Title, by DEFAULT. Again, this is something I was able to do before, and my old lists that were created on V2 still have that default option based on how I set the default sorting. ---

Ah, OK I get it now (sorry) I don’t believe you can change the Default,that is a Trakt default not a personal one. Yes it’s crap that you can only change the sort while looking at it and it goes back to default the next time you look at it. ---

Hi, You can change the default ordering on lists. Just open a list, choose edit: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/trakt/original/3X/d/c/dc00b649f0b4effc17b0dc689e55d1b1b690c9f2.jpeg) And this should open: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/trakt/original/3X/2/1/212b9fd4b546d43100dfac59ba0d38f735f9708f.png) (This is currently only on custom lists) ---
