Fuel is mainly used for chemicals, so grouping chemicals and carbon for that reason is weak. Grouping in harvesters and complex processors makes more sense, such as:

Currently the resources are listed on the left of the screen as: Power Water Food O2 Fuel Aluminium Iron Steel Carbon Chem Silicon Glass Electronics In many respects this order is very well thought out. Power at the top as it is somewhat unique and fundamental, grouped with all the life/colony support resources like Water which leads to Food, O
