Humble request about recipes

They move around in the list each time I pick up new ingredients, so I have trouble finding them. If they stayed in the same place, it would help me pick them out of the list, and also help me remember if I have made that recipe before.

The current behavior of floating recipes to the to top that I have ingredients for is neat, but I think it would be helpful to have them stay put and highlighted instead. Anyone else have thoughts along these lines? Thanks!

EDIT: sorry, this was supposed to go in the ideas forum.

  • I'd like an option for it to be either way depending on what I'm doing.

  • I agree, it does make keeping track of which ones you have or haven't made difficult. And as you mentioned highlighting sounds like a good solution.

  • I'd prefer for them to stay in the same spot, too. And maybe a little sign which recipe I just got new.

  • +1 I find it hard keeping track of what I've made and what I haven't made.

  • Yes, it would be helpful to have a counter inside the recipe details that shows how many times you have prepared that item. Go, go, telemetry!

  • I agree, while it's nice to have recipes move around when I have all the ingredients I also find it hard to remember which ones I haven't made. At least I sometimes am pleasantly surprised when I make something and suddenly find myself getting XP for it.

  • YES! i have this same problem.  atoggle to choose sorting of them would be good. or a least a ticker showing which i have made before.

  • I usually know which ones I have made.  Some of those that I do not have the ingredients for though are ones that I can make the ingredients for as I have everything I need to do so.  It is a bit confusing to have the recipes constantly moving around.  You can easily see which ones you have ingredients for and which require something so I see not reason why they could not just stay in place.

  • I know what ya mean.  When I was going for the 101 recipe badge it was difficult to keep track of..so I created a list for the group, copied it (what a fabulous suggestion by a dear friend) into Word, sized it so I could read them as I went and finally finished.  This current system helps you to make the recipes with the ingredients you have which I have a tendency to focus on just a few, so when they're at the top of the recipes, I know I have the ingredients.

    I'll post it here just on a chance it helps someone, just copy and paste into your software and click as you go to get the badge or list your favs.

  • At a minimum...if they would just stay alphabetized....that would help. :)

  • But, isn't it re-organizing them based on what you have in your inventory?  So, it's supposed to be easier to find what you can make right now, since the system already knows what you have and is putting the things you can make most easily at the top?

  • Recipes in alphabetical order - red or green border/fill to show you if you have all the ingredients and food value on the recipe page so you can easily decide if you're aiming for high nutrition items.
