Summary0001807: Sort selected units sprites and their selection bubbles over other units.
DescriptionSometimes you have a few units selected out of a big crowd, and you can't really tell where they are because they are being drawn under everything else. It might be pretty useful if the units you have currently selected were drawn on top of unselected units, along with the selection bubble and their lifebars.

In the attached screenshot, you can see I have 3 Flagships selected, but there's no telling where they actually are without hitting Space and zooming in.

I've had a lot of situations where I've felt like this would be really useful, Flagships here, as well as Engineers and Golems and such.

This would be murderously difficult, and would eat up some nontrivial CPU time as well; I don't think it's in the cards.
