Suggestion

For context, Minecraft 1.20.1, in case I've missed this feature in 1.21.
We can as of now and to my knowledge sort via config the items via mod order (ingredient-list-mod-sort-order.ini).
What I'd personally like to see is a config allowing to switch the same but with items/fluids/effects as to order them nicely together. For example, if mod A and mod B add both buckets with a mob, manually move them toghether, or with wood types and such. I don't know if it's possible or doable but it would make for a good way to integrate more mods contextually together.

Hello,

Please see this section in jei-client.ini:

[sorting]
	# Description: Sorting order for the ingredient list
	# Valid Values: A comma-separated list containing values of:
	# [MOD_NAME, INGREDIENT_TYPE, ALPHABETICAL, CREATIVE_MENU, TAG, ARMOR, MAX_DURABILITY]
	# Default Value: MOD_NAME, INGREDIENT_TYPE, CREATIVE_MENU
	IngredientSortStages = MOD_NAME, INGREDIENT_TYPE, CREATIVE_MENU

If you move INGREDIENT_TYPE first, I think it'll look a bit more like what you want.

I am also experimenting with some kind of grouping feature, so that similar items can be shown together, but I haven't worked it out completely.
