    I actually waited until the clarification about fully unkown before voting, and then I went with first: You want the totally unkown things to be at the top so you see them, and they will quickly be moved somewhere as a single attempt will get you at least some data.

    I'm surprised to see all the votes for last, and I wonder if folks really knew what they were voting for when they picked last.
    The default sort for the recipes is 'Alphabetical, A-Z'. If you choose a Trivial Sort, the first order is Numerical (Low-High) based on the Minimum Trivial Level (if known). If you sort again on the trivial, it will reverse that sort Numerical (High-Low).

    The real question is where the unknowns should be placed when sorting by trivial:

    A) Numericaly (Low-High, Unknown) first
    Numericaly (Unknown, High-Low) second
    B) Numericaly (Unknown, Low-High) first
    Numericaly (High-Low, Unknown) second

    I choose Version A... and if I want to get the Unknowns at the top, I do a second sort. Why? Because most often I want to get something made... reducing the trivial ranges is secondary on my priority list...

    and I support the database a lot as some of you know.

      Different perspective; there is more than one way to look at something. I voted for last based on what I plan to use it for. I'm figuring 90+% of the time I'm looking at the list it's because I'm doing a quick check for the next few recipes after X skill level. Not counting load time, I'll be done in less than 10 seconds that way. When I have time or the urge to look up the unknowns, I'll know where to look.

        Pretty much the same reasons as Morani -
        for a list sorted by trivials, I would want to see no-fails, 1-250, unknowns.
