Hi, is there a way to sort blueprints and blueprint books efficiently?

For example: I am making a book with 10 blueprints inside...I want red science to be shown before green and so on.

The only solution i have found to this so far is naming the blueprints by numbers: "1.1 Red Science 1.2 Green Science and so on.


Is there a way to sort blueprints without the influence of the blueprint names?

Unfortunately I don't believe there is. However the way you put blueprints into a book is the way they stay unless you move them around manually. Also if you use the middle mouse and CTRL + scroll you can scroll through the blueprints in the order you set. Hopefully that helps.

Something (not sure if it's vanilla, lots of mods in use) is messing up the order of bps in my book(s). Two pieces I specifically put right next to each other into the book are *NOT* close with a scroll through the book. And that's really annoying.
