Listing Food Alphabetically?
I have used Fitday since it came out. I have LOTS of custom foods, I wish I could sort that list at least alphabetically it is so long, it takes me forever to find a recipe I entered a few years ago.

My custom foods are sorted alphabetically.
Well, whatever the case may be this thread may be of some help:

You got me stumped. You should post this question under Support and ask there. Something is very strange.
Here's a partial display of my foods, all alphabetical as you can see:
American Cheese, slice, GV
Applesauce, Motts (1/2 cup)
Apricots, canned, Kroger Lite (8 halves) [^ K]
Banana, Large, 8" [^ Fiber, ^ K, ^ Mg]
Banana, Medium [^ Fiber, ^ K, ^ Mg]
Barilla Rigatoni (1/2 box), [^^ Fe]
Barilla Spaghetti (10 ounces)
Bread, Multi-Grain, ARNOLD (1 slice) [^ Fiber, ^ Fe]
Bread, Whole Wheat, Organic, Kroger (1 slice)
Broccoli Florets, Frozen, Bird's Eye (1 cup is 87 g. = 30 cal) [^ Potassium]
Burger, Turkey, 93-7%, 6.7 oz., Shady Farms [^ Fe, ^ Cholesterol] seasoned with "Grill Time" hamburger->Na addition only
Burrito Shell, Plain, Ole [^^ Fiber, ^ Protein]
Burrito Shell, Tomato-Basil, Ole [^^ Fiber, ^ Protein]
Carrot, large, 7.25-8.5" long, (^ Fiber, ^ K, ^^^ Vitamin A)

You say you've used FitDay "since it came out". Perhaps back then it didn't sort alphabetically, but sorted chronologically. Then when the site converted to alphabetical, the new settings were not applied to your account. In which case, it may just take a little "magic" from the IT guy to fix this. I think you need to inquire about this, because I can see it being intolerable the way it is right now.

Soup, CAMPBELL'S, all the flavors I've ever eaten
Soup, HOMEMADE, chili made with ground beef
Soup, HOMEMADE, chili make with ground turkey
Soup, PROGRESSO etc etc.
Yes, the capitals make all the difference in how the list gets sorted, that's why I make the brand in all caps, that way all the products from one company are together. The comma's are sort of critical too.
