How can dividers be used for this film when the entire cast has "Uncredited roles" and since most of the cast credits are in columns wouldn't you put the cast names in column order from top to bottom then go to the next column. The way it is now even though the cast names are in columns whoever changed it just went from left to right ignoring that the names were in columns. Some clarification is needed here, I think.

Simple answer: they shouldn't be used here. No dividers should be used when they're not seen on the screen.

I checked my version of 2001 not too long ago and didn't end up with any dividers in cast or crew, so it sounds like they shouldn't be there.

If there are no dividers in the credits, then there whouldn't be any dividers in the profile.

This is a matter of preference, unfortunately.  Because English is read left to right, and top to bottom, you will find that a lot of people will enter the credits that way as well.  That is how I do it...unless it is obvious that it was meant to be read in a specific way.  I just re-audited A League of Their Own and, the credits that were in columns, were also in alphabetical order, so that is how I entered them.

No.  Normally you read credits from top to bottom, so you enter them by row, and not by column.

Adding:  As TheMadMartian has suggested, unless you have good reason to believe otherwise.
