Well, I've updated the ruleset with new listOrder entries, starting at 15000 instead of 6000, to move things after UFOs. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to do anything?! I tried moving all the commendations to the UFOs section, and they behaved normally there with listOrder 15000+. Could it be in your implementation of the new section Shoes? It behaves as if the section were between Crafts&Armaments and HWPs.
I've also fixed the section of one of the commendations, which was wrong and preventing it from showing up, and removed the change in STR_XCOM_CRAFT_ARMAMENT, since with the new Commendations section that one isn't changed anymore.
