[interface] Bring back some good dropped features from 1.12

They are:

a) When sorting units in the units popup (ALT U) 1.12 sorted them by how much xp was required to level. 1.14+ now unfortunately sort them by raw xp earned which is much less useful.

b) 1.12 had way more zoom levels plus a indicator to show the % of zoom. I suppose it has too many levels admittedly but would it not have been better to add a way to jump 5/10 levels rather than cutting it down to the 10 levels that it currently has?

N.B. a) is the important one. b) is a maybe

That would be very useful indeed.
I mean, at least the option to sort them that way.

On the file:
wesnoth/data/game_config.cfg

Change this line to:

zoom_levels = 0.1, 0.25, 0.33, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 10.0

Or any set of zoom levels you want, separated with commas.

I agree with the ordering of experience problem. I never found it too useful in that way
Order by level, then is ordered by amount of XP needed to level up

I'm pretty sure its currently ordered by level, and units with the same level are ordered by "missing xp to next level".

Scenario with Robots SP scenario (1.11/1.12), allows you to build your units with components, PYR No preperation turn 1.12 mp-mod that allows you to select your units immideately after the game begins.

Yes, I have in the mean time found out that same thing, sorted by level it will then secondarily sort by xp needed. It works well enough like that.

Thanks for the tip about zoom levels. I'll have to look through that file and see what else I can tweak!
