Credited in order of appearance - Why are some credits this way?
I was wondering why some films end credits are listed in the order that the actors appear on screen?
Who does the end credits? Does the director have the final say in the way the credits appear or is that up to someone else?
Can anyone name any movies in which the end credits appear in the order of appearance?

Just a guess, but I imagine it happens only in the case of ensemble casts where there is no "big" star to demand front billing. No arguing and egos over who gets it.
