[0.12.20]Item Order Not Working!!

[NathGamer]

I do play play with mods and I make mods myself. I made a mod and no matter what order I tell the items to go in on the personal players crafting screen they always end up all messed up. In the logistics request gui though the items always are in the perfect order. This makes no sense to me for the two gui's should be the same except on one you craft items and the other you request but the order of items on the screen should be the same.

Note: They are also all messed up in the assembler crafting screen.

Here is my code:

Code: Select all

data:extend(
{
  {
    type = "item",
    name = "big-electric-pole-mk2",
    icon = "__FactorioBasics__/graphics/icons/big-electric-pole-mk2.png",
    flags = {"goes-to-quickbar"},
    subgroup = "fb-power-transfer",
    order = "a[big-electric-pole-mk2]-c",
    place_result = "big-electric-pole-mk2",
    stack_size = 50
  },
  {
    type = "item",
    name = "big-electric-pole-mk3",
    icon = "__FactorioBasics__/graphics/icons/big-electric-pole-mk3.png",
    flags = {"goes-to-quickbar"},
    subgroup = "fb-power-transfer",
    order = "a[big-electric-pole-mk3]-d",
    place_result = "big-electric-pole-mk3",
    stack_size = 50
  },
  
  
    {
    type = "item",
    name = "medium-electric-pole-mk2",
    icon = "__FactorioBasics__/graphics/icons/medium-electric-pole-mk2.png",
    flags = {"goes-to-quickbar"},
    subgroup = "fb-power-transfer",
    order = "a[medium-electric-pole-mk2]-a",
    place_result = "medium-electric-pole-mk2",
    stack_size = 50
  },
  {
    type = "item",
    name = "medium-electric-pole-mk3",
    icon = "__FactorioBasics__/graphics/icons/medium-electric-pole-mk3.png",
    flags = {"goes-to-quickbar"},
    subgroup = "fb-power-transfer",
    order = "a[medium-electric-pole-mk3]-b",
    place_result = "medium-electric-pole-mk3",
    stack_size = 50
  },
})

Example:

If I were to ask the items to go say: a b c d
They would instead go: b c a d or something like that.

I understand that the crafting screen is like a grid but how might I fix this.

I figured to out. My item-group was the same a a vanilla item-group so it put the items in a weird order.

I figured out, that the order strings only work perfectly for technologies. For items and recipes, they doesnt work well. I hope the team will fix it :/

Ya me to it is really annoying but I got it to work for the most part so thats what counts.
