Ordinances Ready - Advanced Options
Temple work is integral to the most important work currently happening on the face of the earth and in the heavens: the Gathering of Israel. Therefore, it ought to be as simple and streamlined as possible, so as to remove barriers to the Lord's work, because it is a massive work to be done.
Could you please make it possible using the "ordinances ready" option to print more names than is enough for a single person's single temple visit so that one could provide names for others in a group temple visit?
For example, if under endowment I could specify 3 male and 6 female.
The existing filters are inadequate for finding enough names to supply a group for a group temple trip, because the filters don't allow you to sort for what's ready to be done; for example, if I want to find 10 female and 10 male sealing to parent ordinances ready to be performed, and filtered by "sealing to parents" in the ordinances I have reserved or those I have shared with the temple, I won't be able to see who needs to have their endowments done for their sealing to parents can be performed without clicking on each of them individually, which is extremely tedious. An "ordinances ready" that finds ordinances actually ready to be done but that lets you print beyond 1 endowment, 5 initiatory, your own gender, etc. would be extremely helpful.
I understand if you maybe don't want to have temple workers printing all these names for people, so if you could make it an at-home only option or something like that, I still think a solution could be found.
Please consider this, it really could greatly expedite the process of taking family names to the temple once found.

If it really is your intention only to make ordinances ready give you enough for one person on one occasion, please at least make it so that "ready ordinances" can more easily be found from among one's own temple reservation list (including those shared with the temple) using filters - if I am trying to find sealings ready to be done, I need to be able to sort by those who have had all prerequisite ordinances performed and are therefore actually ready for sealings.

Oridinances ready is for your personally to get names for the temple, it is not designed for a group to get names or even for you to get names for your spouse. (which is why it only bring back the same gender as the account holder) They way it is designed they want each person coming to do ordinances ready and bring their own family names. They want more people involved and one reason the limits are in place is to encourage this. They want youth to have accounts and get involved. Family History is for everyone not just a few, so encourage everyone to participate.

For sealing to parents Ordinances Ready does not check to see if the parents have all their individual ordinances done or if the parents have been sealed.
For sealing of couples, Ordinances Ready does not check to see if the individual ordinances for each of the couple are complete.
In other words, it uses the same filters that our reservation lists do. So it does not save you any work in determining if you really want to do those sealings or not.
That improvement may come some day, but it is not in place yet. There is one Help Center article that states that if getting Sealings through Ordinances Ready, it is not necessary to check if the prerequisite ordinances are completed yet and it is fine to complete the sealing. ( https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/correct-order-of-temple-ordinances ) There is another article that states one should check those sealings obtained through Ordinance Ready and complete the other ordinances first. ( https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-find-family-names-for-the-temple-with-ordinances-ready ) So there is some conflicting information out there right now.
