I'm fairly sure that the order of the sub groups is always the same
given the same types of sub-group.  

I know that with protoss combat units, Sentry is always listed first,
then Stalker and then way down the list is Probes.  It's handy because
I know that I can group Sentries with Zealots and still have very
quick access to the sentries' special abilities.  Also, I need to know
not to group High Templars with Sentries because I'll not be able to
get to their special abilities as quickly if I do.

Yeah, it would be better if you could queue up units at any time
regardless of whether you can afford it or not.  That way it could
start building as soon as you have the materials.  It's only like
queuing units when you are supply blocked after all.

It wouldn't work with buildings as they are all commands to build
right now and you can't really queue them in the same way.

A lot of people would complain if they found out that you were playing
on ladder with scripts like the ones you post here.  And if they
officially complained then you'd be in danger of getting suspended or
banned.
