If that doesn't work pausing and moving each unit might... but that gets repetetive and boring, and the units might break formation.

Re: Argh! Hoplites turning sideways!
I just unpause for a second and then order the rest of the units to their proper positions relative to the group/s. As mentioned, it's a hassle but nothing too serious.
Incidentally, I practically never order multiple selected units to go anywhere by just clicking (the alt-click is another thing entirely); it's a great way to mess things up. Normally I use the drag-and-drop method. Works way better.

I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

I don't know whether it was just me, but I think the viewpoint is also related to the final position of your troops.
Last night I was advancing a line of ERE heavies towards some rebels. I was looking at the screen with my troops moving from right to left and the rebels sitting on the left. when I clicked on the space between the two lines I noticed that my troops were changing formation. The pause was pressed and the space bar held down. I saw that my troops were going to line up 90 degrees out.(EEEK) Has anybody else seen the same thing?
I now use the drag and drop method as it makes things so much easier..

Re: Argh! Hoplites turning sideways!
Yes, I have noticed that if you just R-Click the troops will re-align relative to your view point when you did the R-Click. If you Alt-R-Click, they will always retain their starting facing.
I personally prefer grouping units together and drag-dropping the "Group". I can then angle the whole group as I please before "dropping", I don't have to drag the formation out again either. Although, because groups piviot at a point on the left hand side of the formation its often difficult to get them just right.

I too like putting my units into groups and then dragging and dropping, however when I try to do it with archers they always appear in long lines and will not allow me to change their depth. The only way I've found of changing their formation is to de-group them and then drag and drop. Hmmm
