I select option 2. Simply because that's how I read them: from column 1 to column 2.

I agree & that's how I would do it. However, I don't think that (many) people would vote "No" on either option.

Personally i'd choose option 1. That's how i always add it.

Wouldn't vote No to the other though.

I choose option 1, because in longer credits you can't see the complete columns at once and the human eye tends to read from left to right (at least in languages based on the alphabet). But I wouldn't vote no on option 2.

Option 1 is more natural, IMO. If the list is long, I don't want to hit the backward button in order to be able to start reading the "2nd column". That would be clumsy.

Agreed, think abiout trying to read a really long list top to bottom, then repeat for the next column, you will not make it. The human mind reads left to right, in most cases , so that is the way I usually list them. But if someone lese has already done a top to bottom, I won't argue the point, nor will I accept it.

Note: There are ocassional exceptions to either method, from time to time depending on the filmmakers you will discover that they are actually listing the data in alpha order, either top to bottom or left to right, when that is true, I follow the alpha order.

I treat it the same way I read, left to right and top to bottom, so option 1.

I try imagining the fun you have reading a newspaper.
