Is there a way to change the order of your soldier on the roster?

You don't need to fire&re-hire them, de-assigning&assigning to the aircraft is enough and since 2.5+ they don't lose their equipment this way.
However I would like to note that this is (ab)using the current implementation of the troop deployment, You are not encouraged to do this and we might change the code without a note!

Sorry dude, but how is this abuse? I like being able to order my roster so the higher ranks are at the top, that way if I miss seeing who died, I can instantly see if it was an important trooper or a redshirt.

DarkRain:
I don't think there's any abuse here, having your troops ordered to your liking in the roster can only provide a cosmetic advantage, since AFAIK all maps are using random spawn now, you can't control the order your soldiers spawn

Not that I'll be using this any time soon, since I rotate wounded soldiers de-assigning and re-assigning all the crew after almost every mission would become really annoying really fast.

I plan a feature (for 2.6+) to automatically remove a soldier from the roster if (s)he is under a certain HP level (like 20%)

Nice that would help a lot, though along with that you should add (if it isn't in the game already) a little warning for sending a dropship out that isn't full.

Also do you have any plans on being able to carry equipment in the dropship so if you send it on multiple missions you can switch out weapons to match the map like say for example a sniper for a shotgun.
