Loving the new version -- just wanted to state that up front!

One suggestion for a future build pertains to the "Select Your Fields" section of the Recipe screen:

In the list of available fields, since that list is alphabetical, it would be more intuitive if the various "versions" of one particular attribute were grouped together.  This would be accomplished by listing the attribute first, and then the qualifiers. 

Example:  rather than "Est Bottling Vol" and "Measured Bottling Vol", use "Bottling Vol - Est" and "Bottling Vol - Measured".

Also:  rather than "Max ABV," "Min ABV," "Measured ABV," use "ABV - Max", "ABV - Min," "ABV - Measured."  (Not as great an example, since all were relatively close to each other in the "M" section, but still, I'm sure you get the idea.)

This will group all fields pertaining to a particular attribute together in the alphabetical list, making it much easier to see which variations are available with minimal scrolling.

Thx for your consideration, and keep up the great work!



 
Thanks - with 100+ recipe fields to choose from it is a bit daunting.  However the other consideration is how the actual field name is displayed on the dialog - and most are listed by name.

I'll see if there is some way to group them without changing the dialog field names much.
