They start in the order they sang. Drag a song by its dots, tap the arrows, or tap its number to send it straight to a place. It saves as you go. On a keyboard: tab to the list, space picks a song up, the arrows move it, space drops it.

Press space to pick it up, the up and down arrows to move it, space to drop it, or escape to put it back. Page up and page down move it five places, home and end to the top and the bottom. The right arrow reaches its number, where a place can be typed, and its up and down buttons.

Finished? The story of Eurovision 1961 has every score and what went on backstage. Spoilers, obviously.
