There is a way in Play The World. You can move a stack of units with one button, in the right bottom of the screen. This is a question you can best ask in the newbie thread. This keeps the general discussion thread free for discussing different point of views regarding certain topics of the game.

In vanilla civ there's also the "j" button. With that you can issue a "go" command to all (for example) cavalry units. But only units of the same kind at a time...

Well, I don't know that! You mean to direct ALL Cavalry or Artillery from all over the world to a certain point?

New to me too!! I'll try that! This would cetainly help moving my 40 artillery!
No, no. You can't.
The vanilla civ 1.29f j-command is the predecessor to the PTW stack-movement command, which is the enhanced version. The "j" is just a multi-goto: Click a unit in a stack, hit "j", point to the tile you want them to go, and all units in that particular stack (and only in that stack) of the same type will get the same goto command. Except those that are fortified which are ignored.
The "j" command also makes no distinction between those units that have already moved and those who haven't. All of them get the goto assignment. Unless you notice this it can lead to the unwanted side-effect that part of the stack moves automatically in the next turn when the situation might have changed...
Of course, if you have got PTW then you already have everything the 1.29f provided for stack movement plus the additions done to improve it, so you don't have to worry about having lost something.
