Current: The Reconstruction Mode has 4 tabs where the buildings and roads of the city are displayed for the Player to select and place at the city grid that is in Reconstruction. The tabs classify the buildings in the following categories: Roads, Great Buildings, Cultural Buildings & Decorations, and another for all the rest (Residential, Goods, Supplies, Military buildings). The buildings at each tab are not sorted in any logical order. For example, if the Player have Shrines of Knowledge of several Eras, they are not listed together at the first tab. Many buildings may be listed between the Shrines of Knowledge (SAV) and the next group of Shrines of Knowledge (SAAB). If the Player is working at the moment with a column or row of 2x2 buildings and want to use his/her Shrines there he must scroll up or down at the list to find additional ones.
Proposed: Arrange buildings at each Reconstruction Mode tab by Building Name (alphabetical order, A - Z)) and by Era (from Higher to Lowest). That way all buildings of the same type would be listed together and if available in more than one era at the city they will be close to the others, too making easier to the Player to find what he/she is looking at the moment. Example:
EDIT: Change the following functionality:
Building List to not reset back to the beginning of the list after the Player place the last of the selected building, the list shall stay in current position.
Example: If the Player has selected the Shrine of Knowledge (SAV) and starts placing the 14 SOK he has, the list will not reset to the start of the list (now sorted alphabetically by Building Name/Era) but to stay at the section of the list (currently buildings starting with letter "S").
