Rearranging Units
There is an issue affecting the recently introduced feature: Rearranging Units. It will be temporarily disabled until the bug has been fixed.
EXCELLENT! Maybe it'll be permanent? (or at least only take effect on defense).
#CloneHelmets4Life...VICTORY!!!! "I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere." The more you tighten your grip, CG/EA, the more whales will slip through your fingers (and go F2P or quit).
I will say this feature is pretty useless for ship. You/they just call in reinforcements, making the whole thing pointless.

I'm hoping it's just going to be scrapped. It's a terrible idea.
Love how people are complaining about their squads not being "symmetrical." Hilarious!
OCD man...

I love the update..... Except this part. Hearing it's on delay due to bugs, I'm hoping it's just scrapped entirely. That would make this update pretty awesome, in my opinion.

I love how people care enough to comment about how other people prefer to view their squad.
Hey no disrespect intended, I legitimately found it funny. When the QOL update came out this was not something I thought would have a 7 page forum post dedicated to it lol.
Thanks to the auto reorganization stuff my kylo is ducked down behind my strangely huge fotp and I'm having trouble clicking kylo with my first order officer buff.
I actually learned what spot in your squad correlates to which spot on the field. I used to arrange them based on which ones I would be tapping. For instance, I never target R2 for anything so he was#3, where Old Ben and BB8 were chosen constantly, they went to the 2nd and 4th spots respectively. Now R2 shifts to 4 and I have trouble choosing Old Ben out of the 3rd spot. This could have been left alone as a tactical advantage for people who bothered to pay attention and/or learn.
Rearranging Units:
There are a variety of situations where a player’s tall unit (ex. Darth Vader) is obscuring a small unit (ex. Hermit Yoda). This resulted in players being unable to select the obscured unit when an Ally ability allows it (ex. Hera’s Backup Plan ability). To ensure units can always be selected and seen, units will now rearrange based on unit height. The one exception is the leader unit, which will remain in the front. This tech also applies to opponent ships to minimize situations where an opponent's ship can not be targeted (this was primarily an issue on the Capital Ship’s turn).
This whole thing is broken - other than the fact that I can no longer have my units line up the way I want (no control whatsoever) I'm often stuck looking at K2SO blocking half the screen - mostly 2 units. Clearly, this isn't working as intended!
This happens more often when having event characters join or when borrowing a hero (6th character).
It was much better before - even if the actual character order wasn't identical to that on the selection screen - when you could at least place them the way you saw fit.
I hope they'll roll back to the way it was and maybe add some meaning to the way we choose to set our characters.

I really love everything they brought with the update except the fact you're having the beefiest characters shoved in your face:
They disabled the anti QOL feature(thank goodness for that), but it doesn’t correspond to the old positions anymore. You’re going to have to do some trial and error to see which position goes where.
On the squad set up screen, if you count from top to bottom--going from left to right--with the Leader as 1... it's only that spots 3 and 4 have traded positions during the fight.
Lost my first battle a few days ago because of this. Was stealthing with Scimitar. Saw a TIE fighter right where I always kept my TFP, and muscle memory kicked in. Turns out it was FOTP, which wasn't pretty.

@Huatimus I did some testing. I think this is the new positioning. Happy OCDing!!!
For Squads:
Selection - Battle
Top Left = Front Middle (leader, duh)
Top Middle = Front Right
Top Right = Back Right
Bottom Left = Front Left
Bottom Right = Back Left
For Ships:
Selection - Battle
Top Left = Back Right
Top Middle = Back Left
Top Right = Front Middle
Bottom Left = Front Left
Bottom Right = Front Right

I don’t think it is working as intended. My R2 and BB8 end up on the far left along with yoda and reinforcements on fleet end up covering up smaller profiled ships.
The positions have changed, but I kinda like it. If you tilt the top of your device 45° right at character selection, that's pretty much how they line up in battle.
Now that this has been changed back to being user controlled, I'm very happy with the update as a whole. Great job, devs at CG.
The part I dont get is, why develop this. Noone wants this at all, yet you put days of work in it. That could have beeb spent on things we actually want.
Even if you dont want to read the official forum for the free, great ideas, you could justt run a poll and see which potential new feature people vote for.

Thanks for posting this, hopefully favorites being on top everywhere is made optional too

Yes!
I had vader blocking R2 and couldn’t even see R2 to select him a couple of times. (I’ll take a screen grab next time to prove it.)
Selecting the enemies seems better, selecting allies seems not.

I look at my toons before I tap them. Apparently that's now a tactical advantage.

Ships are easier, but squad arena is A lot harder to select the right toon on a cell phone!
They have changed it back to allowing us to put them where we want them. So just learn the positions and choose wisely to avoid the problem.
