Hi Dark, Hmm....Makes sense. I'll definitely keep that in mind because it does seem like a very logical way to organize performers. I was going to put them in alphabetical order anyway, but having two or three screens with performers ranked by alphabetical order could work out just as well in terms of quickly finding the performer someone wanted. So I'll keep that in mind. The only downside with your suggestion is you still must scroll through all 60 performers before you can enter your choice which isn't too cool.
Cheers!
