My son was complaining about having a hard time finding specific items in the inventory or in context menus of arrows and throwing stuff. We came up with the idea of environment sensitive sorting. Like the game taking into account the rocks, enemies etc and showing you your past favourite items in such surroundings.
I’d love to see that in some future version or dlc.
This is an unlockable feature in the game. You will need to upgrade your Purah Pad in order to get access. Let me know if you want a little hint, a big hint, or I can give you some search engine keywords or a guide.
Edit: I think I just understood what you’re describing.
