Very Annoying Inventory Mechanics

Does anyone else find really annoying and tiresome when your trying to design your SF and your looking for your items in your inventory which are usually at the back and are grouped somewhat together i.e. tree types and place them only to return to your inventory and its reset back to the beginning of the list. I find this adds twice as long to the process of designing.
If anyone else finds this problem annoying, it would be great if we could bring it to EA's attention so they could possible fix it so that the inventory does not reset back all the way back to beginning every time you find and place down the item/s you currently are using.
