Today's update focuses on Quality of Life improvements, specifically how you organize your data and ensuring reliability in our charting tools.

Default Mixture Sorting ​

We know that as your library of mixtures grows, finding the right one quickly becomes essential. While the default "Last Updated" sort is useful for active projects, many of you prefer an alphabetical list or want to see your oldest creations first.

We've added a new Application Defaults section to the Settings page.

You can now set your preferred default sort order for the Mixtures list:

• Last Updated (Newest First) - The default behavior
• Last Updated (Oldest First)
• Name (A-Z)
• Name (Z-A)

This setting is saved to your user profile, so your preference will follow you across devices.

Data Hygiene ​

In the process of improving sorting, we noticed some mixture names had accidentally saved with leading spaces (e.g., " My Recipe" instead of "My Recipe"), which caused them to float to the top of alphabetical lists unexpectedly.

We have implemented automatic sanitization to trim these spaces upon saving. Additionally, we've run a background maintenance task to clean up existing names and ensure all records have valid timestamps, making the new sorting options reliable for your entire history.

Bug Fixes ​

• Feed Log Charts: We resolved an issue where the nutrient charts in the Feed Logs view could fail to render (showing a "Context" error) under certain conditions. The charts should now load reliably.
• Substance Links: Minor styling updates to buttons linking out to external stores.

As always, keep the feedback coming!
