Skip ahead in turn order?

Hello all you helpful forum-goers!

Does anyone know of a way to skip ahead in the turn order to a specific turn?

Background: I’m running Forge of Fury, and my players have alerted ALL the orcs. A couple dozen or so. I use the GroupInit script to put them individually in the turn order, which along with the TurnMarker script helps me ensure each of them takes their turn. 

But sometimes I want to just have all of them move, and I can easily do that on the map by grabbing all of their tokens, but hitting next turn, wait, next turn, wait, next turn… takes a lot longer than if I had some way to scroll down the turn order and say “advance to here”. (I use static monster initiative so they are mostly all on the same count).

This would also be helpful for times when I accidentally resort the turn order, and want to quickly get back to whose turn it actually is.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions of scripts or otherwise!

And if there aren’t any existing good solutions, maybe The Amazing Aaron could consider adding a way to do so to his fantastic TurnMarker script? ;-)

That could be done, I believe.  I keep meaning to rewrite TurnMarker1 with some enhancements, and get stymied by how old it is... =D

Yes, please! :-) You could call it… TurnMarker2! ;-)

lol. I actually already wrote a TurnMarker2, but didn't release it. It needed some additional work and I never got back to it.
