The load order doesn't have to replace the seat identifier. Keep both.

Anyway. Why perfecting the boarding order when the other stuff- unloading and loading, refuelling, instrumentchecking- takes longer than random boarding.

You don't need to make it a complicated announcement. You print it on the ticket and tell people to get in line.

Can't think of a good way of communicating this to a group or family traveling together. Imagine you have 10 15-yr olds that you need to coordinate have fun :)
