Sure, it's chronological.EmilienDelRey wrote:In fact, this is an unranked list.Henrik wrote:Ah, thanks! All good then!EmilienDelRey wrote:At #2!
Btw, it would be really helpful if you could edit the list and add a delimiter between the song titles and the artist names. I hate to ask for things like this but, well it would help me a lot...
