[0.17.69] Blueprint books sort by selected blueprint and not by book name in player inventory

The blueprint books are sorted in the inventory by whatever blueprint is currently active for a book. This caused me some confusion and reduces the ease of use when I have multiple books in the inventory and want to use them because the position changes between them.
I expected them to be sorted by book name.

Thanks for the report however that's working as intended. I'm going to move this to ideas and suggestions.

Yeah, I too think that blueprints (and books) with non-default names should be sorted by name over contents. This should also apply to inventory-pinned blueprints/books.

+1, the sort order of anything in the inventory should not change due to current usage of that item, only due to player invention.

The player using the item(s) is player intervention. The game can't just sort by name because not every book has a name and not every blueprint has a name.

It could sort by the concatenation of name, " ", and (whatever the sorting key is now). That'd give predictable behavior for people who name their blueprint books, and degrade gracefully for people who forget. (All unnamed books would sort together.)

I have put my books on the hotbar as a workaround now.
