TV Credits sort_order
posted by Raymond WagnerSTAFFMOD on October 31, 2013 at 1:29 PM
The TV preview has methods for returning cast members using "/3/tv/{id}/credits" and "/3/tv/{id}/season/{season_number}/episode/{episode_number}/credits", however they return a field "sort_order". The existing Movie credits method (/3/movie/{id}/casts) returns "order". Is there a reason for the discrepancy?
Similarly, the methods are "casts" versus "credits".

The
sort_ordervs.orderwill be changed to be consistent. I'll useorder. Change for that will get pushed later today.The
castsvscreditswill change but the other way around, I'll be renaming movies tocreditsand aliasing the legacycaststo it. That has always bugged the crap out of me and is fixed for TV and everything moving forward.Reply by Travis Bell

The
sort_orderrename was just pushed. As credit requests expire you'll see the new field.
