The new unit list has a pair of sorting methods, Prof A and Prof B. Putnam asked for suggestions regarding what to name these on the Kitfox server, both of which should fit in the same small space.
Prof A sorts miners, then all woodworkers, bowyers, carpenters, and wood cutters, et cetera. Prof B goes by each profession/position individually and alphabetically: brokers, butchers, captains, carpenters, and so on.


I suggest that Prof A be named "Cat." (category), as this is the technical term for the color-coded groups that each unit type is sorted into. Graphics raws ask for a PROFESSION_CATEGORY when coloring the default clothing.
Prof B should remain as "Prof." (profession). This is the term that's used elsewhere, when renaming units on their character sheet and when specifying creature-specific [PROFESSION_NAME]s.

In addition, the smaller column margins to display names causes longer names to be shortened and/or displayed on two lines. It's uncommon with typical dwarven names, but creatures with legendary titles or custom nicknames are affected by this.
