I've been focusing on other stuff and only crafted a few items since this change went in, so haven't worked with the favorites menu very much yet. For items you manually pinned to Favorites (rather than ones the system put there because they're what you last made), do those ones stay in the same position? For those frequent items (the sort you put on your hotbars), that might at least add back some consistency, so it's at least where you expect (even if not necessarily where you want).

Overall, I'm glad they made an option for finding Favorite items, but agree that its implementation needs some tweaks.
