Highlight the current train station in the train schedule menu

Post by bodobram »

TL;DR
Please put the train station in which the train resides first in the selection menu for the train schedule.

What?
When configuring a train schedule there is a button "Add new station" together with a menu that let you choose that station (ordered by their names).
If the train is residing in a station (in manual or automatic mode), it would be nice if you show that list reordered so that the current station is always at the top (with all remaining station follow alphabetically).
Why?
This adds more comfort when adding new trains and having a lot of different train stations.
I often have this workflow:
  1. Placing a new train station (lets name it "Iron Drop for Green Circuit")
  2. Place a train on that station.
  3. Open the train schedule menu for that train
  4. Add a new station and scroll down the entire list until finding "Iron Drop for Green Circuit").
I think, this is generic: When placing a new train at a new station, normally this train should also contain this station in its automatic schedule.

This can be somehow workarounded: Once, I accidentally forgot to connect the station to the rest of the train network resulting in all other stations to be red (since there were no path to them) and the station where the train resided to be white and at the very top of the list. This was excactly the behavior that I want to suggest here.
