Default SEV: Reordering items in construction queue

Current in SEV you can reorder your construction queue with a Move Item Up or Move Item Down button. Why isn't there Move Item to Top and Move Item to Bottom buttons? There is plenty of room to add those buttons.

Is Aaron planning on adding them?

Edit: They were in SEIV, so it'd only make sense to have them in SEV. And it saves a lot of mouse clicks if you have a lot of items in your queue.

Click and drag when you're in the reordering mode would be best

bingo! this drives me nuts!

while individual nitpicks like this don't amount to much, I sense a general design attitude lacking attention to detail, and that absolutely drives me NUTS! Move up and move down buttons are functional, but hardly user friendly. When compared with other games with much smoother and more intuitive user interfaces, SE loses the place in my heart it once held... in other words, this chronic lack of user-friendliness and "let the modders fix it" mentality is very disappointing.

Default Re: SEV: Reordering items in construction queue

For those interested...I emailed Aaron shortly after making this post and he replied within a couple of hours and stated that the Move to Top and Move to Bottom buttons will be added in the next patch.

SJ, it would be very nice indeed if you could drag items in the queue as well. Has anyone suggested that to Malfador?

Considering its not in SE5 now and hasn't been in any game of the series? Yes.
