Simply to aid my understanding of the process, when a reader marks more than one book as finished on the same date what algorithm defines the order in which those books are displayed on the Year in Books display? It appears to be random to me, although I cannot believe it genuinely could be random. They sometimes get put in the order in which they were marked as finished, but sometimes they do not. Sometimes in order of rating, but sometimes not.
