#Deconstruct based on the order you drag

Right now if you want to deconstruct a long ladder, for example, if you drag to deconstruct the entire thing the dupes will inevitably perform this task in such a way that only one or two segments will be removed cutting them off from the rest of the ladder.

I'd like to see a mod that has them perform this task based on the order you drag. For example, if you want them to deconstruct from the top down, you first click the very top segment of the ladder and drag down to the very bottom segment. Reverse this if you want to deconstruct from the bottom up.

This would allow one single task to be ordered for an entire deconstruct, and it would be done in the correct way so that dupes don't lock themselves out of being able to perform the entire task.

I saw that, but I took it to mean it always deconstructs everything linked together and that's not always what I want. I'll check it out though.

To be fair for balance the deconstruction time is supposed to be the sum of all deconstructed components.
