'Temple' part of the website. Please use old system
About 2 years ago, shortly before Covid hit you did a major replacement of the Temple part of the family search website. It is honestly terrible. The old system worked so much better! Now if you try to filter by ordiance it will still show the other ordinances, if you select multiple people the print and then click next page it deletes all you have selected, the ordinances ready button gives you sealings that are not actually ready to be sealed. Honestly preparing to print names to take to the temple takes 3 times longer than it used to. Please please please go back to the old system, atleast until you can fix this one. Thank you!

FYI
Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.
I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
[ And, I happen to ne a Member of the Church ... ]
Just in passing ...
Sadly ...
I humbly suggest, there is NO going back ...
[ NOT even "Temporarily" ... ]
I totally understand where you are coming from; and, the reasons for your frustration ...
There have been some significant "Changes" of late; and, that is just to the "Temple" Work side of things ...
You are not alone ...
There have been numerous post of this nature ...
It was disappointing, to say the least, when the "Continuous" List of "Reservations", for "Temple" Work, was REPLACED, by the "Paging" (ie. "Pages").
The reason/inference; being, that the "Continuous" Lists, that for MANY Users/Patrons (who are Members of the Church), was Extremely LARGE (ie. "Thousands"), used far too much "System" Resources; thereby, "Slowing" the "System" down.
Hence, why 'FamilySearch' went, from "Continuous" Lists, to "Paging" (ie. "Pages") Lists.
Now ...
That Said ...
You are not alone ...
Unfortunately ...
What you desire is not a new request; and, had been requested COUNTLESS times, by COUNTLESS Users/Patrons (who are Members of the Church), that being, to enable the selecting (and, printing), of individuals/persons "Temple" Work across "Pages", in our List of "Reservations" for "Temple" Work.
As such ...
Due to the "Change", from "Continuous" Lists, to "Paging" (ie. "Pages") Lists ...
I DO NOT think, that 'FamilySearch', will accede to such a request/suggested enhancement, on the grounds that; and, as they have ADDED, "Filters", to the "Reservations" Lists; where, it is/has been implied/suggested, that we SHOULD be able to "Sort" the individuals/persons that we require, by using those "Filters". to get the result they we desire.
So ...
That Said ...
According to 'FamilySearch', it is SUPPOSEDLY, a very SIMPLE matter, of getting to know how to use, the "Filters", in the "Reservations" Lists, to achieve the desired result ...
I will just leave that with you; and, say no more ...
We can but live in hope ...
Just my thoughts.
I know, that this certainly does not help/assist; but, I hope, that this gives you some, insight; and, perspective.

ps: I am sure, that others, will join in, on this post of yours, to provides you, with examples of how to work the Filters

Now if you try to filter by ordinance it will still show the other ordinances,
The key here it to use both the Filter by Ordinance options and the Perform Next button. For example, this configuration will give you just people ready for endowments and who have all other ordinances completed:
Unfortunately, this does not currently work for Sealing to Spouse and does not check to see whether parents have been sealed when picking Sealing to Parents. Also, unfortunately, it does not work on reservations shared with the temple, only on your personal reservation list.
if you select multiple people the print and then click next page it deletes all you have selected,
This has been reported as a problem so often I can't imagine they are not working on it. In the meantime, the Perform Next filter should get so many of the same type of ordinance on one page that the page's function is bearable while waiting for the fix.
the ordinances ready button gives you sealings that are not actually ready to be sealed.
Again, this is such a common complaint here that I really hope they are working on a solution.

Because many of our users would prefer not to review posts that refer to LDS Data in the General Category of the Community, I am moving this discussion to the Temple Category where it can be seen by others who may want to make comments about the current use of the Temple List for LDS Members.
Our of courtesy to those who use FamilySearch who have no interest in LDS Data, please use the Temple Category if you have similar questions in the future. To get to that category to add your post, click FamilySearch Help, then click the Temple icon.
