it stays as-is, applying a sort number to all three from my example as a

consider a group of ARs that needs to be sorted.  And know I don't even
know what kind of UI you are imagining. :)

Sorting wouldn't work in the "credits at bottom" view, as far as I can
figure.

Given we don't have sorting currently I can't imagine how we would
implement it without some sort of UI change. What I was meaning about track
credits on releases is we can display the same ARs sorted in different ways
- sorry I'm not being very clear! Sorting would have to be subsidiary to
any dates. But not other attributes IMO (the sort number would be an
attribute I guess).

Groups of ARs that really need sorting (and could be with the kind of
structure proposed here):
Work -Work :
Medley
Parts

Recording -Work :
Performance of (medleys are soon to be attributes here) but for example,
one performance could be instrumental, another partial, but they only
appear in one order on a recording.

Recording -Recording :
Compilation, DJ mix.
Possibly also samples?

There might be some others where it would be useful but I don't think all
should be able to be sorted.
