Order of consumption/use

As my bags fill up from the left I would like them to be used up from the right

Obviously when it is something you are picking yourself you can make the choice but I mean when you are making something that consumes something

For instance I have a bigger bag with beans in. When I make Awesome Stews the beans are used up from the left, so any part used stack is  on the left. But when I started making the stews any part filled stack was on the right. So I now have 2 part stacks. Ditto with using the beaker too. More than one stack of red elements and you end up with 2 stacks, and in different cases Sorry, I'm not very not very clear, and the request a bit anal, but nonetheless a change I would like

  • I have always been displeased by this. I would prefer it the other way around though: fill my bags from the right, use from the left :)

  • I actually prefer the way it is now, because that way it "reserves" the slots for the same item.  If I have 4 slots in my bags filled with beans, I'd prefer to keep all those slots partially filled, rather than having one of them empty out and get replaced with a musicblock or something.

  • I would agree from an a.r. standpoint the current system leaves our bags poorly organized, but I posit the alternate idea its the place algorithm that needs work, not the extraction. The "next" stack of meat should go into the same bag as the other 3 stacks I already have!
