 ## Fixed
 
+### Settings — contributors list sorted chronologically
+
+**By [@Psychotoxical](https://github.com/Psychotoxical), PR [#700](https://github.com/Psychotoxical/psysonic/pull/700)**
+
+* The **Settings → System → Contributors** list rendered in raw insertion order, so the original maintainer (since v1.0.0) showed up last and the hand-maintained ordering drifted as new entries were appended. It is now sorted on render — ascending by the app version a contributor first appeared in, tie-broken by their first-contribution PR number — so it stays correct no matter where new entries land in the source list.
