+1

Good hint! Hadn't thought of that.

Actually, if you _use_ separate rounds or times for registration, the
recent versions of moodle-xs (the custom moodle we ship) make it
easier to enrol users in the same course if they've registered in
clusters. The listing of users to pick when enrolling in a course
shows them ordered by registration time, and displays reg time too.

True. Early users get new software... and more attention from me
(soon, I promise ;-)).
