Status: offline 		OK, I need to move an item up in the queue (it's currently the 6th item queued, I want to move it to 1st), and I don't want to cancel everything I have queued, and then have to remember what they are and what order they're in. Isn't there a simple way to just move at item up in the queue, and keep doing that til I get it where I want?

- let's say my item is number 6 and I want it to be number 1
- cancel number 1 then immediately resubmit it: right-click then immediately left-click
- everything moves up one space - my item is #5 and the old #1 is now #6
- cancel the new number 1 then immediately resubmit it
- everything moves up one space - my item is now #4 and the recent #1 is now #6
... you get the idea

It sounds complicated, but it's very simple and takes little effort to get my item into the #1 spot. Best of all, I don't need to remember the order of the previous items.

Status: offline 		Thanks. Not a perfect option, but very good (except for situations like Aeson mentions, which isn't an unlikely case).

Follow-up question: If I cancel/resubmit the current tech, and it's 90% complete, do I lose all that research when it become the top of the list again?
