How do I reorder my movie lists?
Most movie lists can be reordered easily by dragging and dropping the movie title into the desired list position. You can get to your lists by selecting the “my movie lists” link on the left side of your screen or by using the right panel which contains your “Top movie list”.
Two lists are not reorderable but also allow for unlimited movies within the list. These lists are “Movies I own” and “Movies I want”.
