Is there a way to sort my "meals" in alphabetical order? I have quite a few saved now and it's a pain to have to scroll through all of them. Many thanks for any advice

    Start typing the item in the search field. It will find it for you.

    Good question. I'll be "listening" for the answer and hints from other users. I have several years worth of recipes and I just went through last week to delete ones I knew I wouldn't be making again to slim down my list. I also search on the app first to make sure I have a recipe and then at least I know it's there as I go page by page on the computer.

    I think that only works on phones - not computers.

    I do use my phone, it's just that I can't always remember what I called the meal/ recipe.

    On the web version, you can sort Recent, Frequent, Foods, Meals, and Recipes in the favorite tabs by name in the "Add Food to Food Diary" workflow. Change the display option from "Sort by: Default" to "Sort by: Name" in the upper right. You may have to toggle between Default and Name each time you click on different tabs for the lists to re-sort.

    However, on the web version, you can not display Foods, Meals, or Recipes in alphabetical order when viewing your saved My Foods, My Meals, and Recipes by accessing those lists from the main FOOD page.

    On the mobile apps, I am not sure because I am using an older version of MFP for Android. I can sort the same lists by A to Z or Z to A by tapping the tool icon and changing the display settings when adding food to a meal. However, I can not sort any of the lists (Recipes, Meals, Foods) in the Menu > My Recipes & Foods page.

    Correct, the mobile apps (iOS and Android) use predictive text to display matching items from the favorite lists (Recent, Frequent, Foods, Meals, Recipes), which are a subset currently stored on the mobile device. The subset stored on the mobile device may not contain the full list of items that are actually stored in your account on the web version.
