Unexpected behavior, blueprint books in inventory change relative position. minor UX bug.

Multiple blueprint books in inventory, with auto-sort enabled, are sorted based upon the name of the currently selected [Shift/mouse] blueprint within each book. This means that the books change their relative position upon use. This discourages segmenting books based upon topic, e.g. "Trains", "Power", "Oil", "Mining", etc..., as it becomes a treasure hunt to find which book is which again.

Expected behavior would be to sort the books in the player inventory based upon each book's own title. e.g. order always would be "Oil", "Power", "Trains", "Mining"

Thanks for the report. This isn't a bug since we programmed it to work exactly like this.

However, I see no reason not to change it to work as you describe so I'll do that for the next version of 0.15.
