When in collection list it is possible to click on "Collection Number" to sort by numbers or to click on title to sort by title.

I really would like to see this function in the "Edit Profile" --> "Cast"-dialog, because it would save ALOT of time and work to clean out unnessessary birthyears.

At the moment you have to scroll the whole list of actors down from A-Z, sorting by birthyear could help doing the job in a few minutes by cross-checking the "accepted birthyear"-thread.

Here a picture to show what I mean:

You may want to have a look at the Database Query plugin, this allows to select profiles with birth years.

Sort of like the idea.

What I would like to see is that when adding cast/crew to a profile that you can have the option to view in a new window all the dvd's that are in your database with that certain person.

Much like when you double click on a cast/crew member all of the dvds that you have in your database pops up in a new window with the thumbnails of the dvds.

This would help to more easily identify a certain person when they can't be identified by just their picture if available. But you do know another film that you have with them in it.

It is indeed a handy feature, especially if you're trying to doublecheck how a person is credited in various places while working on a profile.

That is correct.  With the plug-in and the List of Accepted Birth Years, I was able to cleanup my database in about 20 minutes.
