If you go with Grid, you'll need:
a) Grid.
b) Grid Custom Layouts, for a non-standard layout.
c) Clique, to interpret the clicks.

You can go with an alphabetical sort, like this:

/Grid Config
Layout > Custom Layouts > New
order=NAME;

Or a fixed order sort, like this:

/Grid Config
Layout > Custom Layouts > New

ToonA,ToonB,ToonC,ToonD,ToonE;sortMethod = "LIST"
n1;NOR
n2;NOR
n3;NOR
n4;NOR
n5;NOR


I'm not sure how, but wouldn't mind an alphabetical sort, but with names in a 5x5 grid, instead of alphabetically in one very long list.
The alphabetical sort is excellent for 10-man's, but kind of unwieldy in 25-man or 40-man events.
