Bug Description / Steps to Reproduce

I realise it's probably by design, but no matter how high I put Language in the sorting order, it prioritises some streams that aren't in my preferred language consistently. Same thing happens with resolution. I have Language > Resolution in first and second place in my sorting, but I get a stream that's both not in my preferred language (Spanish), and in an inferior resolution, above other streams that are in my preferred language and resolution. And that's while having Spanish as the only language in "included languages" filter.

Putting Spanish in Included Languages is the only way I've found to not miss out on a lot of perfectly fine Spanish streams, but since it apparently bypasses also the matching filter, I sometimes get a mismatch at the top of the streams list for a movie more than 20 years apart from the correct match. And like I said, even with that I get streams that completely ignore my sorting order at the top of the list.

I've tried many different sorting orders, following the official guide and also Tamtaro's, adjusting it for language priority, but that didn't do anything. I have stream expressions from Vidhi05, but I tried disabling them and they're not the problem.

Expected Behavior

I expected to see my sorting order prioritised in the stream list, if anything else for the top 2 priorities I've set up.
