It could be worse.  If they came in from the left side of the screen and slid across horizontally we'd have to enter them as:

If the heading came first, ie, in this case, under the names, I'd do them in bottom to top. As it's above the names, definitely have them listed top to bottom.

Again rolling top down, what is the exact order of the writing credits?

Same as it would be if it were a still...

George Lucas - Screenplay
Walter Murch - Screenplay
George Lucas - Story

I agree with TheMovieman.  Once the entire credit group is on screen, read it and enter it exactly as you would any text.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

Building your stills to set the exact order in rolling credits is quite unusual.

For you, maybe, but not for me.  For me, it doesn't matter which direction the credits are going, I never hit the pause button until the entire credit is on the screen.

If a complete cast list would be scrolled like this way, I think the opinions would be different:
last actor
....
first actor
CAST

But until the Header is on top, I would go with normal reading from top to bottom.

So "Story by GEORGE LUCAS" is no entire credit? This position of yours is quite unusual.

It is grouped along with the other writing credits.  I can see this based on the gaps before an after the credits.  If it were on the screen by itself, then I would have a different answer, but it isn't.

Again I ask, why did you bother asking for opinions if all you were going to do was argue with everybody that didn't have the one you were after?

You are correct, if the entire screen were filled with names...meaning no spacing so that no names were on screen alone...then the answer would be different.  But that isn't the case.  In these examples, the credits...or groups of credits...are on the screen alone.  Since they are, I would enter then as I would any other credit that was on the screen alone.

Story by appears on screen first and stands on its own.  (It also comes first logically.)
