Because episode credits are also factored in, it may appear like a smaller category is listed first. Double check that the person is listed on the exact episodes of a television show that they worked on, in order to ensure the correct ordering.

This is a software-dictated function which applies to all filmographies in IMDb. If you're an active IMDbPro member, you can select your category display order - this is explained more in our manage your primary professions article.
