prime time speaker's list - reference

I'm sure there is some good reason to be publishing it this way, but the list of prime-time speakers isn't published by speaking time, but alphabetically. I guess to facilitate easy lookup. However, if that were the case, does it make sense to have it alphabetical by day? See it for yourself. Double asterisks next to people I'm interested in seeing.
