The same would still apply if you want several FOOS - buy them all first then they are at the start of the list so easily found via the HQ menu screen listing. You could then say keep a mental list in your head - #1 is at the top of the map, #2 is somewhere in the middle of the map and #3 is the one deployed down south say.
That is fine but not really the issue, at least for me.
If you have more than a couple of artillery/planes and more than a couple of obs, as I usually have as I play in maxed out maps, it is hard to impossible to remember which obs spots for which artillery and vice-versa. It doesn't matter if in the lists the obs are near the top or not. Unless you take notes (pen and paper) which obs guides which artillery, you can easily not only pick the wrong artillery, but more importantly you can easily "give orders" to the wrong artillery by just clicking on it and then have to exit the bombardment screen, pick the right obs and then re assign it to the right artillery.
I thin I explained it better in my original posts.
Unless of course you are talking about something else so, my fault.
