How are leaders sorted in the ILS?

[rerathbun]

Having entered a lot of leaders in the ILS, I can tell you that it sorts them alphabetically by nation, then service, then rank.  The sorting occurs each time you hit the 'save' button on the 'Edit these leaders' page.  I haven't really kept note of whether it sorts each rank by morale and/or modifiers, but my impression is that it does.

As you pointed out, the sorting doesn't really matter to the function of choosing leaders.
