I agree, we definitely need a 'Move to Top' and 'Cancel All' button - they will save a lot of wasted time deleting and moving things around the queues.
And, rather than having troops in groups of 25 could you not just have the troop type and some kind of slider beside it to allocate numbers. Each group of troops could be cancelled with one click regardless of how many troops are in it. Would make things much easier and get rid of the need for the big long queue that we have right now.

so another game update with downtime (that we were told wont happen anymore!). i see some very minor fixes some of which i had never noticed.
HAVE YOU READ THIS AND OTHER SIMILAR POSTS BB?
why have this forum if ur not even going to bother responding let alone fix this problem? its not even hard to fix, if ur programmers can do a bubble sort i;m sure they can work out how to move to top during a coffee break!!!
Reading all posts. Sadly we can not deploy a new version while people are playing the old one so updates are needed if you want new content.
Also, suggestions are passed on (this was passed on already). Especially if it gets a lot of support, I can assure you the suggestion is being considered.
Thank you again for your feedback and ideas!
I posted a similar thread about this issue some weeks ago, apparently deleted by MOD instead of merged with current thread - not good BB :(
Move to top could be nice, ordering larger batches than 25 could be another solution and maybe easier to implement
We don't delete forum posts unless they come against the rules. Your thread was merged into the original thread on that topic here.
This suggestion is slightly different so it was not merged.
ok my bad, I must have misunderstood some information provided some time ago and we are supposed to still get downtime. personally idm, I just thought we were told it would happen much less often nowadays :)
Ty Ravel, that is very informative and even if this idea is never implemented it's good to know the team are aware of the suggestion :)
It would be gr8 to have some kind of notification (perhaps on bottom of original post) to say it has been noted by the mods
I am personally reading and reviewing all the suggestions (like all forum posts), so it would not be time-efficient posting "read" in every one.
As previously explained, the process from suggesting something to implementation is a lengthy one so direct feedback from the devs is not possible at this point due to time constraints.
Great idea this!
I would love these options but I rarely need them. With a little math/excel I know exactly how many troops/things I need and always have a reserve of everything.
There have been other post about this - dont think I ever saw a reply from BB though.
And yes I am also very tired of having to clear all the jobs when I need something done asap. I would love to have an easier way to manage production queue in barracks and provision houses.
@Budgy
It's mighty fine knowing what you'll need, the problem often arises though when you've just lost 500 various elite units in that block which went wrong and now suddenly you need to move the 250 Mounted Marksmen and 200 Besiegers to the top of the cue, rather than the 500 Mounted Soldiers and 600 Knights that's already there because that is what you've would have needed had nothing gone wrong.
And the only way to do it now is sitting and clicking that x 44 times, and sitting out the lag between each. That's 15 mins of really annoying waiting on something that could be fixed very fast with a 'move to top option'
I think you are the only player i know who doesn't need this budgy :) This is a fix players have been crying out for, for a long time.
- when your production runs into weeks not hours it really is near impossible to adjust with up down arrows :(
Could a BB confirm if this is something that will be implemented at any stage please?
Seriously .... can we please have this?
I accidentally blew up 250 horse. But I had 5K recruit queued. Do you have any idea how much of a torment it is to cancel them all?
And moving them up one spot at a time per 25 horses .... yeah also not an option.
been suggested many many times - yes it is much needed
the feature seems to be tested on provision houses atm, lets hope it finds its way to barracks too.
probably no chance whatsoever of that happening though
Are you sure we want this idea ?
Lets take a closer look at how things work in the Barracks. Try queuing 25 Recuits, the result is your troops are queued pretty quickly. Now try queuing 5000, oh dear we get the spinney. What does this tell us, well it tells us the mechanic did not send a request to make 5000 troops. What it tells us is it sent 200 requests to make 25.
Looking at the above we have to ask ourselves would a mass delete button be 1 request or would it be sent as many multiple requests as it would take to remove your queue. Looking through the forum posts we see that players are using queues lasting up to as much as 70 days, so we have to ask ourselves if its multiple requests how long would that take, minutes, hours ? Who knows. What I do know is that it would be a undesirable solution for several reasons in this case.
Is there something which can be suggested which would result in a more desirable solution, as it happens it has already been suggested , it's a move to top button. First this would only require a single request to be made making it a faster solution, secondly we would a) not have to remember what troops we had queued but b) would not have to take the time to queue them all over again.
A move to top button would be far more us imho
I agree. There has got to be a better way than it is currently done.
Id like both options - a move to top and a delete all :)
both would be nice ( if implanted the same time) but if i need to choose one its move to top:)
oh look, yet another thread asking for a move to top button. I've seen this so many times i'm surprised this subject alone doesn't crash the server....
so c'mon bb why won't you implement this simple request?
We all have now and then filled our queue at the barracks or provision house.
You sit and have 2000 recruits in queue and then you make a faulty attack and some crossbowmen dies.
You now need to produce crossbowmen but they will end up last in the queue.
You now have to sitt and press the button to move this production to the top of the queue for about 45 minutes.
My suggestion is that it should be added one more button to every production in queue that wen pressed moves this one to be the next to be produced once current in production finishes.
Basicly, one button to move it to the top of the queue.
...and again!

It's been suggested many times. I'll keep agreeing and begging BB to implement this simple change everytime i see it. A huge plus one from me. The current system for rearranging build queue is too slow to be useful. Even cancelling all orders takes forever. Add move to top and move to bottom buttons please.
And cancel current task might help too
i often am in situation to have to clear a lot of troops (1000r e.g.)from production queue in baracs , and i lose 5-10 minutes pressing X multiple times...
i would find it very helpful is there was one button to clear all production
