I've always wondered how the animes listed were ordered since it's obviously not alphabetical. I can't remember or see if it was detailed when the feature was implemented and announced.

It's more processing-intensive on the server to put a list of things in a certain order (like alphabetical).
When people use multiple anime in a video, I think it's fairly rare for a certain one to be a "primary" anime. So I doubt a feature like this would be implemented.

seems to me that all it should require is a checkbox that says "list as primary" and maybe let it up to 2 be selectad as primary in cases of videos like tainted doughnuts where the creator used 2 primary sources.

I've seen quite a lot of multi-anime vids where one anime is 90% of the video and the other animes are there just cause they couldn't find lyric sync or something with the primary. Not everything is as random ass scene choice as AMV Hell. I don't know how things are organized now, although I kinda suspect it's the order the animes are entered in the vid profile. Changing things might not be needed though. A brief explanation of how the ordering is done so people know how to get their primary anime listed first is probably fine.

I wouldn't be surprised if the order is related to when the anime got entered into the .org's database. If you peruse the Recommended Videos forum and look at a lot of the multi-anime videos, there are a few that list "Anime: Pokémon (TV), Trigun, Neon Genesis Evangelion, etc." (Stop The Rock?, Still Preoccupied with 1985, etc.). More if you substitute Pokémon with Ranma 1/2.

Willen is correct, the results were not sorted and as a result they were ordered primarily by the date were entered into the db. The vidid tool should now display the anime used randomly.
