Here are four quartets. Rearrange each one into whichever order you wish and send me your four permutations.
Beatles: George, John, Paul, Ringo
Pevensies: Edmund, Lucy, Peter, Susan
Evagelists: John, Luke, Matthew, Mark
Animals: Click, Kojo, Medved, Rangwe

Scoring:

That's a very loose definition of the word "animal" there :D (OK, I can just about remember what Click and Kojo are, but not the other two...)
