Default [Tweak]Shop priority within any CTRL 1-0 group key


While I understand that you can set recipe shops and item shops to different hotkeys but what if you have a situation whereby you are controlling multiple unit heroes like chen, enchantress or even geomancer where you want to assign more specific hotkeys for them and their summoned units?

I understand that there are custom key programs but IMHO this change is very useful for the players that frequent lan shops and for people who are not used to using F1-F4 for hero selection.

I'm sure building priority is code-able like necrominion unit and panda summons priority.

This simple tweak is shown in the pictures I've uploaded below -

What is the suggestion.
As you said, you can already bind them to groups?

His suggestion is changing the order of icons in the subgroup.
T-Null for now. Not sure about this.

Yes! Yes! Yes!
This is exactly what annoys me everytime I am dying as a poor supporting, when I want to buy my boots before death as fast as possible. HUGE T-UP

The order of the icons under the subgroup is very untidy and disorganized.
So I suggested to change it to prioritize the item shops over recipe shops in the specific order as shown in my screenshots.

Lastly I want to emphasize to other people who wanna T-down my suggestion because you can create 2 hotkey subgroups, please don't.
I've already stated this change is for people who uses many hotkey subgroups like chen or enchantress who dominates creep as main part of their strategy and other players that likes having alot of hotkey subgroups to play around.
