List Pages Redesign
We are excited to announce the launch of IMDb’s redesigned List pages! These pages are meant to make your IMDb experience easier and more enjoyable by providing a modern, clean presentation of information with 3 different viewing types available (detailed, grid, compact) on each List page tailoring to both written and visual preferences. We have also improved mobile navigation making it easier to view IMDb features on the go. These enhancements reflect changes suggested by IMDb customers, as well as our own in-depth research designed to enhance entertainment content, discovery, and navigation.
We hope you enjoy these latest improvements, and thank you for continuing to make IMDb the world’s most trusted source for movie, TV, and entertainment content.

Your ratings list opens in "Most recent" order. All other lists open in "List" order and you can reorder individual items in each list via the "Edit" menu. We are investigating options for list order to be "sticky" such that, each list opens in the order which you last used.

Why is the edit page different for large lists?
If your list size is more than 100 items, we will temporarily redirect you to the old experience while we continue to work on optimizing functionality for large list users. If your list has less than 100 items, you will be able to use the new modernized edit experience.

For list export, how are title details represented?
For list export, the title text is displayed in its original form, with the release date, year, and runtime based on your location. We are currently investigating ways to provide you more control over the display of the export file based on your preferred localized settings.
