Here is a post from the public Forum, which i like to publish here, in order to get more attention.

> As it is, when importing Movies into My Library, I can edit a wide variety of fields, including Title, Sort Title, Studio, Tagline, Summary, Directors, Writers, etc.&nbsp; One thing that is not available to edit is the Cast Listing.&nbsp; This becomes an issue when matching your media to a database such as Freebase, where the top three listed cast (the ones that get displayed within Plex and the Roku app) aren't accurate.

Its pretty much what i think.

&nbsp;

So to be clear:

**1.** -&nbsp; **Ability to change Order of Actors within a Movie**

**2. - Ability to change Name of Actors**
