UX problem - Trading post back button

The trading post Back button does not work as the user expects, according to common usability standards. Here is a classic example:

In the first image, I click on one of the ingredients in the menu on the left, to be able to search for it.

In the second image, I see the list for that item and decide to go back (with the [BACK] button).

As a user I expect to go back to image 1 when i press [BACK] button, but I’m on a totally different list:

Now to go back to image 1, I have to do the search again.

According to usability standards, the back button should take the user back, i.e. to what they were viewing previously and not to another page you’ve never viewed.

I’m a UX/UI designer, I hope to be able to use my professional knowledge, to try to improve the game, pointing out these discrepancies :slight_smile:
