My personal nickname for this idea is 'tetris placement'.  You know how
tetris shows you the next piece and then you place it...  So there'd be
a window with a vertical column of parts.  You'd place the bottommost one
and they'd all slide down.  It would choose the order using algorithms
like I envisioned for 'smart disperse' -- it'd give you an LED and then
its resistor, for example.  You'd be able to defer the current part or
just resort the list around a new starting point.
