Research station item layout/order?

[Dadycupcakes]

It's been really erking me lately that I cannot figure out how to change the way items are listed or organized at the research station. Sometimes they are listed by material other times by rarity, is there a way to change this? or is it just based by research station? I prefer having them listed by material but cannot figure out how to or if it's even possible to change it to material. I've tried changing the way it's listed in when looking at my inventory but that doesn't seem to change anything.

It depends on the sort selected in the 'I' player menu.

 

If the sort isn't Rarity / Rarity on the drop down boxes, they get jumbled up.
