Might be meh but sometimes important. In-game in ressource/population tooltip its often very important to see fast as player, who has the most of a ressource or if a player has realy low population or high population, to ask for res share or to ask for make one player to pop up if he has low pop.
Therefore a order of the player with the numbers for ressources (food, wood, metal, stone) and population from high to low is very helpful, rather then just having players ordered by there position, as its hard to see fast differences between this numbers.
So this patch will order players in tooltip by ressources and population numbers to fast get an impression of the numbers.
