Was there ever a discussion about this? It looks like right now the order of for instance the 9 (!) writers for Prodigy 1x08 is by their People ID, in numerical order. Which translates to: whoever is known to the DB the longest is shown first.
However, these kinds of lists often are in some sort of order of importance, or seniority. As I understand it, for several unions this even determines the (minimum) payment their members receive. So wouldn't it be proper to also show this on TVmaze?
