Description

Currently in the GUI, the unit id's are sorted by their string value and not by their numerical representation (e.g., 1, 200, 3, 39, 4, etc.). It is more intuitive to me for it to be sorted by the unit's numerical value instead (1, 3, 4, 39, 200, etc.).

Research direction

Start by locating the GUI code that displays and sorts unit IDs, then reproduce the issue with values such as 1, 200, 3, 39, and 4. Update the ordering so IDs are compared numerically, and verify that the GUI displays them as 1, 3, 4, 39, 200.
