What is the problem?

When selecting signals from the PyCoal Processing tab, the current order of recipes in it is:

  1. Tier 1 production buildings
  2. Tier 2 production buildings
  3. Tier 3 production buildings
  4. Tier 4 production buildings
  5. Utility buildings
  6. ~500 different barrels
  7. ~500 different barrel-emptying recipes
  8. ~500 different barrel-filling recipes
  9. Common vanilla ingredients (Gears, Iron rods, copper wire, wood, water, oil)
  10. Common py ingredients (Coal dust, Ash, Sand, etc)
  11. Canisters
  12. Various py recipes

The ~1500 barrel recipes should be moved down to the bottom of this list. I can't see a situation where someone would be picking any particular one of them without using CTRL-F.

On the other hand, common ingredients and common py ingredients each have very distinct icons, and can be picked out by hand, without using CTRL-F. It would make more sense to have them above the ~1500 barrels and barrel recipes.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the Signals UI.
  2. Open the PyCoal Processing Tab.
  3. Observe the order in which the different signals/ingredients are arranged.
