Default Ways to sort Planet and Ship/Fleet displays?

In general I like the UI of SE4, but I haven't figured out if its possible to do the actions listed below. Can somebody tell me if I'm missing something, or if I'm just out of luck?

1. After researching new Colony tech (Rock/Gas/Ice), is there an easy way to figure out which colonizable planets are within range of my Colony Ships? So far, all I've been able to do is sort the list by Value or whatever, and then go through the list one by one and note which ones are close enough to colonize. This is a pain in the mid-to-late game, when I've explored lots of systems that are out of range of my Colony Ships.

2. Ship/Fleet Screen questions:
A) When viewing the Ship/Fleet list, is there a way to exclude ships of a certain class or name from the list? For example, if I have 20 remote mining ships out and about, can I somehow exclude them from the list so I can easily see the ships I care about?

B) When I choose to only display Fleets, the sort buttons don't seem to work. For example, when I'm viewing only Fleets and click the Name or Move Left categories, the list isn't resorted. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

C) Is it possible to customize the sort categories in the various Ship/Fleet screens? For example, on the General screen the defaults are Pic-Name-Size-Type-Move-Dmg-Supplies. Is it possible to add categories from other screens, like Maintenance cost or Cargo carried or Orders, to the General screen? Or vice versa? Specifically, I would love to be able to have Class as a Category on the General screen. And I don't find the Cargo / Maintenance / Order screens very useful since they don't show important info like Move or Dmg or Supplies.
