Add Cast for Movies does not work

When adding cast to movies, both front and back end, even if the cast does add, they don't show up.
For example, when you look at the back end for this: https://drama-otaku.com/movie/akai-ito-2008/ there are 27 people listed for cast, but only 26 people show on front end. (In this instance, the new cast member was added from front end, but I've had the same issue with back-end adding as well.)

Hi all!
I'm investigating the source of the problem

Max Romanchenko: Hi Max! Thank you. I was adding cast to a special and the same issue is occurring there too, so it seems it's not just movies :') I thought it best to mention it!
Steps performed: added a third cast member via the front end, but upon adding it doesn't show up in the list, i did check the back-end to see if it was there and it is definitely listed in the back-end so am not sure what the issue is and why it's not appearing.

Cat: Hi Cat!
Thanks for the additional information, I confirm your findings.
It looks like I have identified the source of the problem, now I am looking for an optimal solution to this problem.

Max Romanchenko Amrayu78 its working for movies! it just defaults the newly added cast to the first spot, so i think we just need something on the front end that lets us say what position they should be like on the back-end

Max Romanchenko: hi max, previous behavior, was when we added newer cast that these people will appear at the bottom of the list. Can we adjust the current behavior so it can do this? Thank you
Max Romanchenko
Amrayu78: Done. I also included the "Order" field in the Add Cast form. This field automatically contains the number that will be assigned to the new post. For example, if there are 20 people, the "Order" field will contain 21, therefore the newly added person will be at the end of the list. The value of this field can be changed manually, for example, if you put 1 in this field, the new person will appear at the beginning of the list. I don't know if this field should be displayed in the form, so I decided to ask you. I can hide it and then the new person will always be at the end of the list.

Max Romanchenko: Hi Max,
I think it's better to hide this field since we can sort already from the front end. Manually adding a number to a sort field can be confusing. It's better to stick to the sorting on the front-end using the drag and drop feature you've already implemented.
Thanks for fixing!
Max Romanchenko
Amrayu78: I agree with you, this sounds more logical. I hid this field.

Max Romanchenko: Hi Max, This looks good now!
Mare G and Cat: Can you check if the issue is fixed for you? I've checked SPs and Dramas and it looked good. Please confirm and we can close this ticket out. Thanks!
