Shopping List: Edit categories and add custom categories

I think it would be great to be able to edit the categories of the integrated shopping list, to which the ingredients are automatically assigned after they have been added, and also to add custom categories. It would also be ideal to arrange the categories in your own order so that you can organise them in the same way as the supermarket where you shop.

PS: Sehr coole App, weiter so :) Grüße nach Hamburg

    Custom shopping list categories have been added! 🥳

    To track interest in custom shopping list category sorting, I've created a new feedback form where you can vote for this feature: https://www.mrcook.app/feedback/p/shopping-list-custom-category-order

    Best, Jan

    I'll remove the planned status until there's more demand for this feature :⁠) But I still like this request.

    Hi Janis K., thanks for your feedback.

    Sorting categories is a good idea. I have added it to my list of ideas.

    At the moment I don't have any plans to add custom categories in the near future, but maybe it makes sense to add them at some point. The shopping list is still a very new feature and I would like to improve it over time.

    PS: Vielen Dank! Und viele Grüße aus Hamburg zurück :⁠)

      Jan was noch super wäre ist wenn die Lebensmittel zusammen gefügt werden. Statt 100 Gramm Paprika kleingewürfelt und 100 Gramm Paprika, soll 200 Gramm Paprika dort stehen

      Landi: Das funktioniert bereits für gleiche Namen. 100g Paprika und 200g Paprika werden 300g Paprika 👍

      Unterschiedliche Namen füge ich nicht zusammen, da dies für alle Sprachen extrem kompliziert werden würde und es viele Sonderfälle gibt.
