| Posted: | | | | How can dividers be used for this film when the entire cast has "Uncredited roles" and since most of the cast credits are in columns wouldn't you put the cast names in column order from top to bottom then go to the next column. The way it is now even though the cast names are in columns whoever changed it just went from left to right ignoring that the names were in columns. Some clarification is needed here, I think. |

| Posted: | | | | I checked my version of 2001 not too long ago and didn't end up with any dividers in cast or crew, so it sounds like they shouldn't be there. |

This is a matter of preference, unfortunately. Because English is read left to right, and top to bottom, you will find that a lot of people will enter the credits that way as well. That is how I do it...unless it is obvious that it was meant to be read in a specific way. I just re-audited A League of Their Own and, the credits that were in columns, were also in alphabetical order, so that is how I entered them. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

No. Normally you read credits from top to bottom, so you enter them by row, and not by column. Adding: As TheMadMartian has suggested, unless you have good reason to believe otherwise. --------------- | | | Last edited: by scotthm |
