The city build menu is kind of hard to navigate at times for new players. Would it be possible to put symbols beside the buildings to show their core purpose (Draft, Production, Gold, Mana, etc) or to put dividers like category tags grouping all of the production buildables together for instance?

there are already visual symbols for draft, production, gold, mana.... and I think they can be arranged from the top status bar of the building list... arranged by gold price or by something else... ideally, they would be also grouped/arranged by tier or by resource category! even better it would be if we could see all of the available buildings in a mindmap-ish format (something similar to heroes 3 town buildings), so we can strategize building structures and not be all reactive about it. great suggestion!

Ahh you are correct, on the images there is a tiny little icon, it blended in with the image of the structure so I didn't notice
But yea the sort feature is by Gold Cost, Mana Cost, and Turn Cost

I think you can arrange them only by gold cost, if you click on the menu bar above the list of structures to be built... it's like a table of sorts and clicking that arranges the buildings (I haven't played yet but I saw that in the streams... and I hope that area is clickable!)
Getting a vendor (42 gold, 2 turns) early is better (it generates nice gold/turn) and it has a positive r.o.i. pretty early!
theoretically, if clicking the gold thingie there it should arrange them by gold cost... and if clicking again, it should rearrange by gold cost, but this time from highest priced to lowest priced 😄
name for A-Z or Z-A... same for mana/turn
dividers for skills of units would be nice, too... racial transformation, base skills, unit enchantments and for heroes another divider for 'active/passive skills from items' and in tactical combat, unit buffs/debuffs shown on the bottom of the skill list, since those are temporary)
