Per-dwarf sorting of "Pref -> Labor" menu
« on: December 23, 2009, 11:32:39 pm »

Four ideas on changing the order of the labors in the labor menu of individual dwarfs:

1) An init file option that will cause labors which are currently on to always be at the top, to make it so you can quickly see which labors are on for each dwarf.

2) A labor menu command to resort the list of labors so that the ones with the highest skill are at the top of the menu and with the lowest skill at the bottom (skills with identical levels being sorted either as they are now, or alphabetically).  Changes in the dwarf's skill levels won't change the order of the menu until the command is used again.

3) A labor menu command to manually change the order of the labors.

4) #3, but applied to the starting build profiles.

The unofficial list of new stuff in the next version contains the following:
  • Attribute/skill display system has been redone so as to not overwhelm the player
    • Skills have been split up into 15 logical groups to make assigning skills easier
1 and 2 may not be necessary.
