Anyone can tell me wich order could be the best for thoses troups ?

The intented obvious effect is to have them fire at ennemy then charge them when they are close ( especialy for horsemen with bow and spear ).

But what order to put them to get this behaviour ?

None , they will automaticaly fire and then when the enemy troops get near they will charge.

There is not currently one. It's one of the wishlist items and from discussion from IW that something regarding it will be implemented? At least with the archer portion, though not specifically with being mounted and having high movement (running and shooting). As of right now, mounted archers are just fast moving archers so if you need to move long distances to reinforce, they can be used if you can't wait for foot armies.

They can be handy since they can get close to back units much quicker. Set them to the sides of your army (flanking positions)
