Organize animal panel.
« on: April 06, 2010, 02:20:32 pm »

I don't know if i'm the only person who absolutely hates the animal panel in the "z" menu. I would really like it if the animals were grouped together, such as all the horses are listed back to back, all the mules back to back etc..

In the current state it makes it very hard to get an idea of how many animals you have and which ones should be culled (plus you don't want to slaughter all your male horses or such).

Yeah, it should be sorted alphabetically (by creature name, not caste name, so that "bull" will still be grouped with "cow"), with an option like the stocks menu to expand/collapse each animal type.

That would have made my Soap Fortress so much easier.

Group each animal type first by age group, then by caste, I'd say.  Though the other way around would work almost as well for me.

Quite frankly anything is better than the way it is now. Really its my only complaint about DF, and its a minor one.
