What platform are you running Path of Building on?

Windows

Is your feature request related to a problem?

No, but this would enhance how that currently hard to use drop-down menu

Describe the solution you'd like

Please split the craft types into their own dropdowns (prefix, suffix, runecraft) and group them (tiers of add # to # fire damage into one group like so)

It's a mess right now and very hard to figure out which craft is worth benching.

It would also be greatly helpful if the dropdown can be sorted based on combined, hit, full dps or name or more.

Thank you

Describe alternatives you've considered

Currently, one have to type and compare items manually which is ngl a pain in the burr.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the UI code for the “Add modifier” dropdown, then define how craft types, tier groups, and sorting should work; done means the dropdown is organized and can sort by the requested build metrics or name.
