I may have raised this before but it's suddening irritating me a lot at the moment as I check my indexing for the book I'm trying to finish off at the moment (Alison Holst's "Ultimate Collection").

I hope I can explain myself.  I'm writing about the input screen with the input template at the top and then the "Recipes Added" list that appears below, sorted in # number order. Often I re-sort the list so that it is in e.g. recipe title order, but if I do that and edit a particular recipe, the list below reverts to the # number order again.  Would it be possible somehow (or is it already) to not have the list re-sort every time?  If one is checking multiple entries and making edits, it takes quite a bit of time to get back to where one was, or to where one wants to be next.

Thanks

I may not have understood, but why would you want to change the display sort order at all? AS to "getting back" to where you want to be I find it's easiest with ctrl F (windows), enter a word and press enter... but I may have totally misunderstood your issue ;-)

CharlotteBB, I have a workaround that may help you.

Sort your titles, and then for each recipe title you want to edit, right mouse click on the title, and choose the "open in a new tab" option.  Make your edits to each recipe, and then close each tab after saving.  Your original tab, with the titles as you originally sorted them, will remain intact.

I do this while proofreading to check for typos and SCI's in titles.

That issue irritates me all the time too, but I just tried jumali's workaround, and I see that it works.

Thank you Whitewoods - exactly, and I will give your suggestion a go as it will help for the moment.  However will keep my fingers crossed that perhaps there can be a tweek to the software at some time in the future.  Thanks everyone.

Thanks Whitewoods .. not something I've ever thought of playing with!

I use the Recipes Added table extensively as I review books, for the same reasons whitewoods and jumali listed. My technique for maintaiing my sort is the same as that described by jumali--open a new browser tab for the recipe I want to edit.  When done with the new tab, I close it and return to the original tab with the sorted Recipes Added table.
