Add categories

[Stemby]

Hi,
I'd appreciate the implementation of categories, in order to sort items in a functional way (vegetables, beverage, etc.).

A category might be a field, completed with free text:

[ Supermarket ]

Beer #6; Beverage
Apples #1; Fruit
Prosecco #2; Beverage

or something similar.

Best regards,
Carlo

interesting idea... perhaps optional, to stick with the KISS-paradigm by default.

considering the markdown and #34, this may be rendered italic or rather bold...? 😜

The category should be shown in the "add new entry field" as a dropdown prefilled with categories from the same list (and a free text for a new category)

The categories can be stored in header of list, so we can have for each list a custom order of categories.
(e.g. you have one supermarket where it starts with bread, the other one has first beverages)

My idea for list would be:

[ Name of list ] 

Categories: Snacks, Beverages, Bread, Meat, Vegetables, Fruit, …

6x Beer, Beverages
2 Croissant, Bread
Salami, Meat
all Banana, Fruit

Categories: as each supermarket/list can have its own categories, this stores them individually. Order is not alphabetically, but custom sorted, so user can sort it in their preferred way

In each category it is sorted alphabetically or custom.

While adding /editing a new entry all categories are shown as dropdown
