Summary	0002400: Cast massadd: preserve order between steps
Description	Cast massadd is a wonderful feature to know what kanji corresponds to whom in the process of adding cast when you're like me and can't read runes well enough. It makes life a million times easier, especially because you can check existing characters instead of drawings that make no sense to you. There's just a problem, though: when copying the credits from external sources, checking against video needs to be done in the order that the video presents the credits (since you need to check that all the credits are present, and only them, and with no mistakes, and counting and looking for the credits takes longer than actually comparing them). Since cast massadd changes order, it becomes somewhat useless and you're forced to take extra steps to compare stuff to video. So, at least as a toggleable option, I'd like massadd to preserve the order I provided it with, instead of rearranging the cast in... whatever fashion is currently done.
Steps To Reproduce	Grab an episode with 30+ cast credits. Submit the whole batch. Try to compare them against video. Grab the vacuum cleaner to get rid of all the hair you lost in the previous step.
Additional Information	This might potentially apply to other credits as well. Anime staff can come in batches of hundreds, and if this reordering also happens there, it may be a good idea to extend the functionality; if so, then might as well extend it to all credit massadd tools.
