Research direction

Start by locating where the app defines and renders category tag lists, then inspect how the Alcohol list is ordered. Make every list alphabetical while keeping an “other” option last; the user-custom ordering idea is separate and optional. Verify the affected lists in the Android and iOS app.

Description

enhancement

In some lists, the tags are not in alphabetical order, so if you are scrolling through the list just to see if a tag exists, you really have to scroll through the entire list.
For instance, under Alcohol, you will find:

  • Beer Cans,
  • Beer Bottles
  • Spirit Bottles
  • Whine Bottles
  • Broken Glass
  • ...

So is you found some broken glass and you don't know where to find it and you happen to choose 'Alcohol', you will not find it after Beer Bottles.

This strange order might be nice-to-have if you mostly find a specific item, then it would be nice to have it on top, but for other users, this is confusing.

So:
Make all lists in alphabetical order,
but beware:
always end with a 'other'-option as last option, not somewhere in between the list.

Maybe another nice-to-have:

  • let users create their own order (so start with alphabetical, but if a user always finds whine bottles, let it be possible to move it to first place.
