I add a column into my combat matrix for initiative. I take action declaration for round 1 highest to lowest, and then reverse the process following round.

You reverse the initiative order the second round?

This combat matrix sound perfect....I have trouble keeping track of effects....I would try to write them on the card--but writing it on the matrix would be so much faster AND I know immediately when the effect wears off.

This way changing initiative is easy and fast.
