Change default block names. Small/Large, variants and DLC's at the end.

The issue/annoyance


When you add e.g. both small and large hydrogen tanks or standard blocks and (DLC) variants to a grid and open the control panel, these blocks will not be grouped because of the informational prefixes they are given (like Large, Offset, Sliding, Vertical, Full, Warfare, Industrial, ...).


The solution

Instead adding this additional block information in front of the block name, it would be better to place it at the end of the block name. Even better would be to add it in the same way as done for thrust direction and incomplete blocks, not an actual part of the name but additional information in parentheses. The order of which, when multiple apply, is completely up to Keen, of course.


Changing the names by hand is tedious work and having additional information as part of the name isn't very useful. Using a programmable block for this is no fun and with updates, DLC's and mods this becomes a real hassle.
