There are some situations where you need several work orders to produce the same thing. For example, to manage charcoal production before you've breached magma, you want to make at least one charcoal, and make more only if you have neither bituminous coal nor lignite. That's four work orders:
- Make 1 charcoal if (refined coal < 50) && (logs > 0) && (bituminous coal == 0) && (lignite == 0)
- Make 1 charcoal if (refined coal == 0) && (logs > 0) && (bituminous coal > 0) && (lignite == 0)
- Make 1 charcoal if (refined coal == 0) && (logs > 0) && (bituminous coal == 0) && (lignite > 0)
- Make 1 charcoal if (refined coal == 0) && (logs > 0) && (bituminous coal > 0) && (lignite > 0)
If you've done something like this for many items, the work orders list can get very long. It would be nice if we could organize work orders into collapsible folders to make scrolling through them easier. It would also be nice to have informational notes for work orders - that interface is already quite wide and full of controls, so displaying the notes permanently might not be an option, but they could be displayed as tooltips when you hover over an order.

I was thinking that a Search filter button would do the job, where you'd type in "coal" and you'd only see those jobs.
