Sure, unless you play infrequently. Or you can stick 'em up on a sign. But there'll always be some: new health potion, new to eitr, etc.

It's especially noticeable with the various meads, since their names are so long that they don't display properly on the menu. You need to specifically check all of them until you find the one you're looking for.
Sorting by biome tier would be a big improvement.

What I find especially noticeable with the various meads are that there are only seven of them (before one gets to the plains), they are grouped together, and that they are in alphabetic order according to their effect.

These are: Frost resistance;
Healing, medium;
Healing, minor;
Poison resistance;
Stamina, medium;
Stamina, minor; and
Tasty.

At seventy-two years of age I do not "need to specifically check all of them," I need only remember they are listed alphabetically by their effect.

As for "sorting by biome tier," the meaning of that phrase is not clear.

Truth be told, moving craftable items up to the top is one of the things I LIKE about the crafting UI's. If you bring the mats you need, you have zero searching for the item you want to make.

Which while fine, isn't helpful for finding what mats you need.

What I hate is you can only carry so many mats, so you end up going back and forth to grab mats while upgrading, but in haste you end up making something you already have and were trying to upgrade because the menu always goes back to craft, and because craftable/upgradable always rise to the top.

Hopefully they will use the "tabs" at the top. The couldron currently has an "upgrade" tab that isnt being used. If there were a tab for: Health food, Stamina food, Balanced food, Fishing bait, and Meads that would be ideal in my opinion.

PS forgot Eitr......

A good designer would find a UX that works for all workstations, not just the cauldron.

This isn't Skyrim with 90000 different items to sort thru. It's not that big of a hassle.

There are actually quite a few by endgame when you've unlocked everything. A sort option would be nice. (Pretty sure there's mods for that, though.)

+1, cauldron and workbench are getting a bit out of control. Forge is workable for now since recipes have mostly stopped and they've moved to the mistlands tables

Couple this unsortable/unfilterable ever expanding list of things with this weird reordering it does automatically by moving what you can build to the top and you end up with a disastrous UX.

All workstation UIs are a mess.

Yes, or group/sort by stat. And also if the UI could be large enough to not cut off half the potion names.
