Problem with sorting files into different categories

Hello!
Sorry for the vague title.

I'm trying to get a cookbook into my app and use information from text files to sort the recipes correctly.
The files all have a relevant prefix to their category.
The recipes are saved as dictionaries inside a list inside their category.
The app calls the "Readfrom" operation for every file and is supposed to sort the recipes into the dictionary of the same name as their prefix. However, every recipe appears to be stored in the category of the last file.

FileSystem20220901_V2(1).aia (10.0 KB)

Can somebody help me? What am I missing here?

Use either a global index number or a temporary depleting filename list to keep track of which is the current arriving file.
