[Customization/UI] Change Order in which Units are Displayed

from Elemental Forums

As we create new units and/or as the game auto-generates units for us, they are added to the bottom of the list. When we go to train new units, they are shown in the same order as on the list in the Unit Design window. It would be really great to be able to select a unit on the list and have up and down arrows to move the unit up or down the list so we can put them in a logical order. For instance, I really like to have my units in order of cheapest to most expensive, or weakest to strongest (not necessarily the same thing) but I imagine someone else might like to group spear units together, sword units together, bow units together, etc. So, no need to add complicated sorted options, just give us up and down arrows and we can sort them ourselves. :)

A simple click-and-drag like you arrange your friends in MySpace.

That would work too.

Being able to designate group leaders might be nice.  That way, you can choose who is getting the booty in advance, without having to go through the 'trade items' dance later.

Also, just because a hero is the highest level, doesn't automatically make him the best choice for leader - especially if the charisma of the group leader ever becomes a determinant for hiring other heroes.

I agree this would be cool, but it's not related to this topic. This is about the order units are displayed in when you click on the Training button, not the order of units in an Army. Feel free to make a new suggestion on that though.
