[SUGGESTION] Rearranging openxcom menu mod display

[niculinux]

Hello!

Personally i find the mod menu quite a bit disorienting, therefore i'd like to make some suggestions:

1) total conversions should have a separated drop down menu, and below should be shown only Xcomutil/Openxcom since i guess these are universally applicabile;

2) the user content mods/third party mod should apperar on top, or at the bottomo, right before/after the Xcomutil/Openxcom native options so that users may find more easily what they are searchin for.

In the second point obvoously there's not need to create a dropdown menu.

Attached is a screenshot, pretty indecent i know  but i hope you may get the idea

Edit: clarifications

1: they already do, it's the "game type" dropdown. there's no reason to have a whole menu screen dedicated to that. xcomutil isn't a total conversion, it's a collection of modular modifications (or mods), hence why it's packaged as such.

2: the order they are listed on that screen is the order they are loaded. preserving the user defined order is important. any newly installed mods will be added to the end of the list for multiple reasons, chief among them being user sanity.

One thing I do for all third party mods to distinguish them from the pre set ones of xcomUtil etc is edit the metadata.yml file and make their names all capital letters-see attached screenshots, one from my current game and one from a metadata.yml file. This isn't all the mods I've running atm but gives you an idea.

That should be the trick! Don't know if it may be possible, instead of capital, may use a different color for the related fonts?

We don't have a lot of colors to work with. We'll probably do some more UI spring cleaning at some point.
