Why? What's the point of trying to come up with a single optimal order? Every movie does it differently and probably has reasons for doing so. This seems like investing a huge amount of work to solve a problem that no one really needs the solution to.

> probably has reasons for doing so Probably not. They do credits for movies of all sizes. If you're doing a small student film, do you really want to think about the order of your credits? This gives you a great default choice.

  You probably want to pay particular attention to credit order on a student film since it's often the only compensation there is for a lot of the crew.

    As students, they probably have limited insights into what a role is worth. With this tool they can base it on data generated by the industry and get a fair starting point.

> What's the point of trying to come up with a single optimal order? On the frontpage of Endcrawl, the company behind this blog post: > Ace your end credits and de-stress post production with the solution used by over 2,000 films and series. Having a standard template seems like a way to easily "de-stress post production", and maybe even "ace your end credits". If this actually becomes an industry standard, the company behind it would also get some publicity. I've personally never even thought about how credits were made, and never knew that there were companies focused on just this point. Now I know that Endcrawl exist, and have a positive opinion of them because they wrote an intersting blog post, that could be used as a reference for other ordering problems. They're also trading this standard template for your email address: https://endcrawl.com/template/ https://endcrawl.com/template/

  What's more interesting that Endcrawl actually started with the process of sending over an Excel file over email. Seems like they already got their main use (no the editor/graphic/motion don't want to spend an hour trying to change 1 name) and keep finding ways to improve credit-making.
