How to Sort Recipes by Cook Time, Most Liked, or Alphabetically

Last updated: 2026-03-20

Quick Answer

On the search page at familyvalu.es/search, Family Values gives you three sort options to control how your results are ordered: Most Liked (popular recipes first), Newest (recently added first), and Alphabetical (A to Z). Pick the one that fits how you're browsing and combine it with filters for a tailored experience.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

  1. Go to the Search page by tapping the search icon in the navigation menu or visiting /search.

  2. Optionally enter a search term and apply any filters you want (category, course, difficulty, etc.) to narrow your results first.

  3. Find the Sort control near the top of the results area. You'll see a dropdown or toggle with three options:

    • Most Liked -- ranks recipes by how many likes they've received from the community
    • Newest -- shows the most recently added recipes first
    • Alphabetical -- orders recipes from A to Z by title
  4. Select your preferred sort order. The results update immediately.

Tips

  • Most Liked is a fantastic starting point when you're looking for tried-and-true recipes. If many people have liked a recipe, it's probably a winner.
  • Newest is useful for seeing what you or other users have added recently. It's a great way to catch up on fresh additions to the community.
  • Alphabetical shines when you vaguely remember a recipe name. If you know it starts with "B," alphabetical ordering lets you scan right to it.
  • While there's no direct "sort by cook time" option, you can use the max cook time filter to limit results to quick recipes (say, 30 minutes or less) and then sort those by Most Liked to find the best fast meals.
  • Sort order persists as you page through results, so you'll get a consistent experience across all 24-per-page result sets.
