List mgmt issues

I am trying to manage a list of words from a textbook, and running into a few issues with list functionality.

1. Unable to change word definition. If there is a definition in your database - providing a different one seems to have no effect. If there is no definition - the first one I enter sticks, and I am unable to edit it (so if I make a typo - that's it, stays incorrect)

2. Pinyin/pronunciation - does not seem to follow my word splitting. I can't quite figure out where it gets the splits, but definitely not from me (and they seem to be wrong).

3. Unable to change section order. I missed a section, and had to add it later - it is now in the wrong place in the list (and probably in the order of study too).

It would be great if you could remedy some or all of these. You have a great product for learning, but this particular functionality is not at the same level.

Second that. I work around definition change problem by waiting for it to pop up during studying and changing it there. Not being able to change section order in the app is really inconvenient. I think you can do it on the web site but I rarely use it.

If the words already exist, they use our definitions, and you have to do as Bibi011 suggests by opening the word popup to customize the definition. Same thing if the pinyin formatting is different from what you expect (and we really appreciate the help improving the formatting, so please send in those corrections via the word popup).

I think the section order drag-and-drop probably doesn't work on the app, but you can do this in the web version (where it's more convenient to edit lists). Click "Edit Sections" and then drag the left dotted part of a section to reorder.
