First, don´t name your TGs 1st Battle Group, 2nd Battle Group, 1st Freighter Fleet, 2nd Colony Group. The list is sorted alphabetically and so all 1st xxx will be listed after each other, then all 2nd and so on. Better to name them Battle Group 1, Battle Group 2, Freighter Fleet 1, Colony Group 2 and so on. This way, all Battle Groups will be listed together.
What I do in addition, is to put <Space> in front of important TGs
3 x <Space> in front of the Shipyard TG, where all newly build ships are put
2 x <Space> in front of all major combat TGs
1 x <Space> in front of all minor combat TGs
no <Space> in front of Freighter/Colony/Terraformer/... TGs
The first TG shown is now the Shipyard, then all the major combat TGs, then all minor combat TGs and then all "commercial" TGs.
Hope this helps a bit.

And also agree it would be nice to have the possibility to add a newly constructed ship to a branch directly from the shipyard screen.
I would also add another question to yours: I tried to add other task groups and divide ships between them. At the moment my goal is to divide commercial and military ships, so that when I open the task group window and select a task force on the task force dropdown list, then only task groups belonging to that task force are presented in the dropdown list of the task group, but this doesn't work. I wonder if there is any way to make the dropdown list of the task groups less populated.

Or is it not possible to remove a ship from the branch once you added it in?
Also... is there no way to add some default branch where newly constructed ships get added to automatically?
It sometimes is difficult to know which ships you added and if you actually forgot to add any ships to the naval hierarchy previously.
