Add ability to sort or reorder Objects on Path
Love the align to path tool. It has made things so much easier.
One suggestion, however, would be to rearrange the order of elements you aligned. Ideally, you would allow us to sort elements and give certain properties like HUE, Transparency, Size, Rotation, and then we could easily make things like fading shapes to signify movement or just by size where the bigger things were aligned at the end.
You could even make a series of tools like the Symbol Sprayer tools that let you manipulate the pieces on the path by spreading in areas and shrinking areas. Resizing or orienting individual shapes.
Also, when expanding the Align to Path objects, don't expand symbols. (I'll add another ticket for that)

Jason, if you want the symbols to stay unexpanded, do not use the general Object > Expand (since it won’t be able to distinct two types of objects, being Symbols and Object-on-Path), but use the dedicated Object > Object on Path > Expand one. It’s the same deal as with blends, and the order of 'expands' matters.
