Collections page bugs

Bug 1: List items are being reordered after changing pages

On my Collections page, sorted by "Your rating", I see these items on the first page:

Then I click page 2, but on page 2 I see these items:

Darksiders, Radiant Historia, Pokemon Yellow, and Kingdoms of Amalur should not appear again on page 2, they should've stayed where they were on page 1.

I guess because all of these games shown are rated 7/10, there is no secondary sort to sort all the 7/10 items into any order, and changing the page randomly sorts all the 7/10 items again. To fix this issue, consider implementing a secondary sort after the primary rating sort (like all the 7/10 items could be sorted by date added, then all the 6/10 items would come afterward sorted by date added, etc... though this secondary sort's usually done via some hidden unique ID each item has). This way, even if everything gets resorted when changing pages, the items will ultimately remain in the same places.


Bug 2: Changing back to page 1 causes the sort to change

Same collections page as before, lets go to page 2, sorted by rating:
fauxazn.listal.com/games/all/2/?sortby=rating-desc

Then click "Prev" or the link for page 1, and the sort goes back to the default "Date Added - Desc" when it should instead stay sorted by rating.

I just noticed this as well. I was looking for my top rated films and clicking on the next page just seems to reorder the films with a random selection that shows up on every page :P

I've been noticing this as well for many weeks now, where when sorting by ratings, they will reorder when clicking the next page, and going back to the first page puts them back to date added order.

Also by reordering when clicking to each page, various movies/tv/people end up not showing up, whilst others show up a few times instead.

I hope this can be fixed soon to how it used to be.

Right, that's why the first bug's such a big problem, because it essentially "hides" new items in pages you've already browsed, so it really isn't much of a list anymore when random items in that list aren't actually listed. It's been more than a month since I posted this issue now.. the second bug's just a minor inconvenience so I really don't care much about that one at all, but will you guys please at least let me know that the first bug will be worked on and won't be glossed over for being some kind of minor issue? Because it really does render the rating sort halfway useless when your list doesn't actually list half its items, and this sort's the only useful sort for my listing purposes, so it's really important to me.
