Title says it all. moving a unit order up or down in the barracks takes a long, long time, and you lose positional focus, requiring you to search for where the unit order you were moving is after it finally registers.
Its far far faster to simply erase everything (but the current build) and place a new troop order using sliders on the left.
Its obvious from the time delay the up/down arrows use a tremendous amount of server resources, so this change would be better for both BB and the players.

I agree, the arrows are useless. Please replace with a clear-all button or a bump-to-the-top button.
Also , after moving an order to the top, it goes back to the bottom if I log off or leave my island.
You have to delete all orders , place the new order, and then redo all the deleted orders.
Just need a clear all button, arrows are effective. (Right-Click) still probably being most easiest.
Having to reorder then say half what not needed wouldn't be cost efficient but to do.
clear all +1
Changing the arrow function to "move to top" or "move to bottom" rather than just moving by 1 position would be much preferable to a "clear all" I think. If i have 2 days worth of various items in production and need 10 cannoneers real quick, i do not want to have to redo the whole stack. I just want to move those 10 cannoneers to the top. (which is what I tend to need to do)
Move to top and move top bottom buttons would add two buttons to just one or even none really.
Which is fine but of such would probably say then to not have move up or down for say move to top or move to bottom, which still say if so. Clear all for say an additional button would probably be as well. But I don't know, as far as I've say gotten.
How about a individual Queue for each troop type with an easily designated prioritization on which troops to make first and in what ratio...?
Mess up an attack, no problem, just switch the Queue's priority and/or ratio in the Barracks so what you need is made first priority and in the amount you need...
This should be far less demanding on bandwidth and for the server to keep track of instead of completely dumping days worth of troops from a single file Queue.
The queue think used to be how it was at a time, not sure why they changed really. But to say as such would be if also "recruited" probably is why maybe at a time, cause even before didn't, And probably would need to now given doing so is only "one-menu".
It's a good idea but in the savings is still the cost for the same which would probably say cost more given say Ubisoft and not Blue Byte. But could always be mistaken.
