Changing hero icon order

Ever since patch 1.17 when bnet locked the hero icon order, my trigger to change their order has stopped working. It's in jass format.

Can anyone think of a way to make a trigger in gui? My old trigger went like this. You would highlight the hero you wanted to change and type -up 1 or -down 1 to move it up or down how every many positions you wanted to change the function key for it. It wouldn't even need to have the number as long as you could even just type -up and move it 1 at a time. Possible now?

The patch stated that it fixed a bug to keep hero positions from changing so I'm wondering if it is locked.

I have an idea...


Why dont you just do this. Say you have a unit array that is filled with the heroes in their specific order. When you want to change the order, remove all the heroes (not kill, remove) up to where the two heroes are, then recreate the heroes in the correct way with the right experiance/items? Since they are technically two complately different heroes, there is no way WC3 would know short of comparing hero types, which wouldnt work because what happens if there are two of the same hero?
