just 2 arrows, 1 up and 1 down, move to front or end of queue. its worse now than it was b4, but I guess trying new ideas and getting feedback like this is the solution

No need to add more arrows - just change Up to Move to Top.
I'd be happy with either new buttons or making the "up" move to top - that's usually why I need to reorder anyway, but it does need to be improved because with the queue loaded up it definitely takes way too much time moving something to the 1st (queued) position.
Sorry, but I've slept since then...
There should be tick boxes and a context menu with "move to top", "move to bottom", "delete", etc. like in the email.
+1... and thank you SmurfAsH... you saved me having to link my old thread.
As you can see from that link, this is not a new suggestion... whoever at BB thought that the currently implemented system of moving items up and down in the Barracks/PH queues has obviously never used it for any practical purpose. Quite frankly, it is pointless. With the multiple batch system, coupled with the fact that moving anything in the queue shunts you back to the top, it is actually easier (and quicker) to delete your entire queue and build it again from scratch, than use the move function. They may as well not be there in their current form.

I'd go along with that.... the refresh on the queue is still too slow, but stopping the repositioning would be a decent compromise if it would be easier to implement than additional buttons, plus it would have the bonus if making it easier to rearrange subtle elements in the middle if you wanted to.

Sorry if this is already posted elsewhere, I made a seach and did not find it, but would be surprised, if it is only me who find the barracks very annoying.
I would love to be able to put a new job instantly to the top of the queue.
and /or dont move the cursor to the top each time you click the arrows.
Now if I find out I need some specific troops and have a long job queue, I have 2 options
- I can delete all jobs one by one- until I get to the job I want done first.
- I can sit and click - scroll down, click- scroll down over and over, - problem is each time you click the up or down arrows- the cursor moves to the top of the queue.
So it is faster to delete the queue,- this is annoying.
