Book title incorrect in Search and Lists

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but what's going on with this book title? In search and on lists it is incorrectly labeled as "Volume 12", although the page itself correctly lists it as "Volume 1". Someone added "(1)" next to the title on the book page as if to indicate that's how it's supposed to be.

Is there any way to correct the title in search and lists as it appears on the book page?

Book page: https://www.librarything.com/work/16439706
Search: https://www.librarything.com/search.php?search=YO-KAI+WATCH%2C+Vol.+1
Lists: https://www.librarything.com/list/44566/all/Spooky-Summer

Here is the correct Volume 12 by the way. The covers of both books indicate their correct volume number.

>1 Mresc: Not a bug. Someone had put "Yo-kai Watch, Vol. 1" in as a canonical title, which I have corrected. I'm not even sure it is needed.

>2 rodneyvc: Thank you, it appears as it should now.

I think the volume numbers in the title are necessary (there are 20 volumes and counting), but not the bracketed numbers. Oddly only some of the books have this.

I'm pretty new to this site and I'm unable to change "Work Details" for any book. But here are the volumes that still have bracketed numbers in Work Details if you want to correct them.

>3 Mresc: Hi. You can only edit your own book data, but not the Work Details. For a book that you haven't catalogued LT shows the most popular title. For instance, if you look at YO-KAI WATCH, Vol. 8 (8) and click on the editions link, you'll see that people have catalogued 6 copies under this specific title. This is what the Canonical Title overides, but as you have seen this needs to be used carefully.
