 * I’m posting an academic paper, where the order authors appear is important, and
   for the first time I’m noticing that Co-Authors plus isn’t saving the order I’m
   placing the authors in. I set them, but when I save the post, it reorders authors
   by first name.

 * Hey [@dewdream](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dewdream/) @andrew-whitacre
 * Just wanted to let you know I’m working on a rewrite of Co-Authors Plus called
   Bylines. If that’s something you’d like to check out, you can learn more here:
