Power Commodities - Buyer Beware

[Greasetrap42]

It is not worth my time filling out a bug report that will go nowhere. But maybe I can save a few cmdr's frustration.

When purchasing Power Commodities, they are almost always listed in the same order.

But... sometimes it allows you to purchase some more... and the selection order might flip! If you quickly select some more like a good cmdr quickly filling their cargo racks... click click click, you got the wrong ones! Then without realizing you launch from the station, travel to the destination, and wonder why your power contact doesn't want the stuff you brought.

This happened to me several times. It took me a couple times to clue in what was happening.

Screenshot 1: Commodities are almost always in this order.

Screenshot 2: But sometimes they get flipped.

This is intentionally done. It puts your last purchased power commodities at the top

No it doesn't. Maybe its supposed to. In this example I was purchasing Misinformation, but then it put Lobbying at the top.

For the last several days I have been purchasing Misinformation only. It is always the first choice, except when they immediately offer me a second full batch (not very often) and it flips the order and puts Lobbying at the top. If I open other menus and then come back, it flips the order back again.
