I have a level 50 dweller that I was looking for, so I sorted my dwellers list by level but he did not appear at the top. My initial response was 'oh no, he's dead and I didn't spot it in time'. However, it appears as though he was moved to the bottom of the list with the level 1s:
What caused this? How do I get him back to the top of the list?
This may have some causes. Please check the following things:
Hopefully this will help you, finding the possible error.
The price for reviving a dweller inside your vault is based on the level of the dweller.
The higher the level of the dweller the more expensive.
But it caps out at 1000 caps.
According to this wiki the formula is as following:
their revive cost scales to the level starting at 100 CAPS for level 1, and increases an additional +20 CAPS for each level afterwards.
That would mean the cap is reached when the dweller hits level 46.
For dwellers in the wasteland it is a bit different.
As you can see it will cost 1000 caps to revive this level 29:
I am unsure the exact math for this, but the cost is still capped at 1000 caps for dwellers.

I have the same issue. It seems to be related to unique characters.
Your Colonel Autumn is one of them right? You get him from one of the lunch boxes, right?
It seems to be a bug. I have three people from lunch boxes. One with lvl 40, one lvl 50 and one lvl 1. The lvl 1 leveled up and is in front of all lvl 1 and behind all lvl 3 and above. As it should be. Lvl 40 was between the lvl 1 people, just like in your case. After leveling up, he gets back to the lvl 40 people.
Due to the fact, that there is a level cap at lvl 50, your lvl 50 character won't be able to level up. This means he will stay there until a bugfix may be released.
Not the answer you desire, but it's your answer. Sorry.
