Regarding this, it's just a pet peeve of mine, but if we're going to have a long list of names, there should be some acceptable standard of ordering. Two come to mind: Alphabetical-by-last-name (which I did), and order of appearance (which is near-impossible for the episode).

Alphabetical-by-first-name never made sense to me anywhere I've encountered it. It'd be one thing if we're only referring to them by their first names, but many are known on the show alongside their last names, and we should have them categorized by last name and sorted in lists (in my opinion) by the Western standard of "last name, first name". It only took me a couple minutes to do that to the 200 list, and it looked a lot better to my eyes afterwards.

I didn't think it'd be an issue at all, and was very dismayed to see it reverted so quickly without discussion.
