One of our wonderful Caid heralds who logged the Order of Precedence for a long
time put them all in chronological order and kept them that way.  Everybody has a

Trying to shove this back on topic:  Is your home kingdom giving enough awards to
the Culinary artists, and if not, why not?  One way to help is to write a letter
to the Crown about someone you consider worthy.  Contrary to popular belief,
fuelled by simple humility, ANYBODY can write a letter to the Crown for any
award.  Kings are not omniscient, they only know what people tell them.  Look at
it this way, you are doing a service to the Crowned folk by keeping them informed.
