I don't like to have many animals running around when I play DF so usually I have 1-2 breeding pairs and slaughter their young at birth. The problem I have is that in the Animal Z screen there is no sorting that is useful. I think the animal screen should be grouped by species and sorted within species by age and sex. I hate scrolling through and trying to find my breeding pair and then marking the rest for slaughter, some sort of sorting would make this a hell of a lot easier and allow at a glance decision making.

I think the animals list is sorted by seniority. By seniority, I mean the order that they appeared in the game. If they were born at your fort, it is by age, but animals that came with migrants or caravans will have started out older. It also puts trained animals like war dogs at the bottom of the list now.

What I do when I want to kill all the rams in my fort except for 2 for breading is start from the bottom of the list (generally the youngest) and work upward. Once I've passed two rams, I mark all others above them for slaughter.

Being able to sort by species would be very nice. Having to sort through all the dogs, turkeys, and misc pet animals to manage my sheep is kind of a pain. Sorting specifically by age instead of seniority would also be nicer.

it'll probably get there at some point, currently I'm just happy it's not like 31.25 anymore.
