You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Assuming they all have different names 7!
(counting principle)



Take a look:
7 ways to list first name
6 ways for the second
5 for the third
4 the fourth
3 fifth
2 sixth
1 last
the total number of ways is the product:
(7)(6)(5)(4)(3)(2)(1)=7!

Hope this clears things up
