I was editing my ingrediant list and the line that I was repairing ended up at the bottom of the ingrediant list after the edit. This is out of context for the recipe now. How do I get it back up to it's rightful spot in the list?

Thanks

Repeat Ingrediants?

Submitted by nunzio04 on March 8, 2010 - 1:40pm.

Thanks for the answer to this...next question:

How do I list repeat ingrediants in a recipe that has Filling, Crust etc. I know how to breatk out the ingrediants based on the post I read here on the forum, but it does not mention repeats. I worked around using abbreviation, but is there a better way?

Thanks.

We put a fix in to allow duplicate ingredients. Give it a try, should work OK for you.

nunzio04,

You've brought up a frustrating shortcoming of the current system. Whenever you change or update an ingredient, currently it will cause the order in the list for that ingredient to change. It's an annoying side effect.

We plan on providing a convenient way to re-order the ingredient list in an upcoming new release, but in the meantime, we've just added a new column in the ingredients list that will allow you to re-order ingredients.

It's a tad clunky, but we really do need to provide a way to re-order the list before we're ready with the next update release, so hopefully this will help.

Recipe ingredient list Item# column to reorder list

Notice the new 'item#' column. Let's say you want to flip item# 4, "coarse salt" with the  last ingredient 'fresh ground black pepper'. You would change the item# for 'coarse salt' to 7 and the item# for 'fresh ground black pepper' to 4 as follows:

Then save the recipe to save your changes to the ingredient list order.

Try it out and reply back here if if works OK for you.
