Good day, Sirs,

today I delve into the theory of contributing:

"Group names of crew members together within each role available and list in exactly the same order credited." Boldization not by me.

Either we have to group crew members, or we have to list them in the order credited. Boldization by me.

This is just contradiction!

Or is it not?

Love, bbbbb

Yep, looks a contradiction to me 

I always use the credits order.

Me too - if I'm not very, very much mistaken, I believe that's the general practice.

Not really.  DVD Profiler forces you to group them  Sound, Art, Producers, writers etc. 

The order part comes to which producer first or which make-up artist first.

They are to be entered in the correct order within the assigned subsections.

Right.  It's a little confusing, especially if English isn't your first language, but the intent is that each individual grouping (say, of producers, or the art people) is listed in the order that they're on the screen.  But because of the way the layout of the program is set up, it's obviously impossible to have the crew credits exactly track the order of the credits of the movie in their entirety.

It's not always easy to follow the Contribution Rules, if you have to read them through Google Translator:
"Gruppe Namen der Crew-Mitglieder zusammen in jeder Rolle, und in genau der gleichen Reihenfolge gutgeschrieben."

When I started reading here I first thought the users couldn't speak correct english.

Does subsection mean Role?

I think he means 'Section'...the first column in the crew chart.

But the art people are seven different Roles, I thought now they should be grouped and not listed in the order on the screen?!
