@justin I need your help,  
I have a list with 2400+ movies and TV shows and the problem is about the loading of the page because now when someone try to open that list, the page dont load normally because the list have 2400+ items to load at once ☹  
Why don’t add automatic pages per 20 items or per 50 to load big lists better???

Thanks

All sorting and filtering is done client side by the browser, which is why the full list is loaded. If we pagination, most of that functionality would be unavailable. Just curious, what type of list needs 2400 items on it?

What you mean?? 😆😜  
List with movies and tv shows

To use filtering the list must fully loaded first and the problem is there

It’s waste of time if takes a lot of time to load!!! 😛

If it has that much items… it loses its worth in my opinion.

maybe an idea to split it up per type (movie vs tv shows) and theme (lesbian vs gay vs bisexual vs transgender). that last one not mutually exclusive.

Lists are paginated now, so large lists should load correctly. Keep in mind we’ll soon be enforcing list item limits which is still needed to improve performance.
