The game often defaults the sorting order of your squad screen to player position.
That bothers me, because I like to view the screen with my chosen starting team at the top.
to correct this I opened the file "team Squad.xlm" in the graphics\panels folder and edited the following section that can be found near the end of the file:
<!-- default sort by playing position (primary), then picked position, then name -->
<list id="default_sort_column" >
<integer value="Ppos" />
<integer value="Pnam" />
I simply switched the position of "default_sort_column" and "Ppos"
so it looks like this:
<!-- default sort by playing position (primary), then picked position, then name -->
<list id="Ppos" >
<integer value="default_sort_column" />
<integer value="Pnam" />
and voila! now the game sorts the players I want without ever having to click on the little "pkd" sign in squad view.
I hope this helps someone else, as this at least saves me a few hundred clicks pr. game session
