Is it ok to re-order the list of trae goods in rules.txt?

[tobyr]

There are sixteen trade goods in the ToT fantasy world. When I want to check supply and demand, I bring up the box listing them, and I have to hunt visually for the one I want. So I alphabetized them. But all the talk about Uranium (in the strategy group)worries me that the software has some wired in knowledege of these items. I hope the re-ordering creates no problems; if not, this is an easy, do-it-yourself fix to rules.txt:
Amber,
Beads,
Brocades,
Cloth,
Copper,
Dye,
Gems,
Gold,
Hides,
Ivory,
Pelts,
Silks,
Silver,
Spice,
Swords,
Wool,

Changing the names on the list will have zero impact on the value of the trade goods because the properties of the trade goods are determined by their slot in the rules.txt, not by the name the goodds are given. The Urainium slot is allways the last item on the list, in slot 15 (0x0F).

But in the example the wool good will have the same effects/problems as uranium in the normal game.
