Include an option to set Layout only based on the size of the group. Just like in "By Raid Size" but also working in Raid Groups for World Quests.

I want my layout to be large columns building from the bottom left, first filling the column and then adding more columns to the right. Additionally the "sort by role" should sort the players in rows.
So tanks should be at the bottom left first going right and then further up.This way the Grid is as thin (low amount of columns) as possible but has all tanks and healers at the bottom and not spread about the full height. This is actually possible by making the layout "horizontal" and then have a low and fixed amount of units/column and many columns (cause the columns in horizontal filling are the rows). So i made layouts with 1, 2, 3 and 4 actual columns with up to 10 players from the bottom up. Each of these layout fill the rows at bottom first, which makes it possible to have the tanks at the bottom, healers on top and the upper rest being Damage. But for each of these layouts the number of columns is fixed so it will only get as wide as needed for the expected amount of players in the group.
Within Raids this should work since it gets the actual Raid Size but for World Groups it's only possible to select one Layout for all.

I think there are more possibilities to accomplish this. Chosing the direction it should sort the players would be another way but most likely harder to implement (using vertical group fill but sorting horizontal). I hope you understand what I mean.

With the old grid2 you could select different layouts for diferent group sizes, idk why he decided to change it.

I've using an old grid2 version for a long time because of that, mainly because I could have different layouts for 10 and 40 man bg's, but sadly i had to update it, it had too many errors with the last patch
