I don't know why (ok, it's the gin), but the last couple drafts I pushed it a little too much with the way I made myself do my draft. So this mix of the elements will be in order of groups of elements as you go left to right across the periodic table, and within the groups, the songs are in order of the atomic mass of the element I drafted it for.
