If Reckless is on a split pile, for example, Patrician/Emporium, and you play both - do you get to decide what order the cards go back in their pile? If not, is it in play order? E.g., suppose I play a Patrician followed by an Emporium, would I get to choose whether the Patrician or the Emporium goes back on the top of the pile, or does the Patrician automatically get returned first? I feel like it's probably the first, because there's no rule about what order you discard cards from play, so logically I should get to decide which one gets discarded first

You decide the order they go back.

I think cards in play are discarded one by one (which means you discard cards such that those you want to end up at (or near) the top are discarded last). Even if that isn't the case and the discard happens at the same time, you can decide the order the triggered abilities happen.

For a long time the order of discard sometimes did matter, for example with Alchemist and Potions or with trashing Hermit potentially causing chain reactions of triggered abilties, but that should all be gone now.

Ooh, Alchemist's ability bypasses Reckless, making that a crazy strong card.

Unless you miss your Potion!

Yeah, that makes Alchemist a bit of a gamble - although the +4 Cards it nets does increase the likelihood of drawing your Potion. But if you end up not drawing it, that could prove rather unfortunate
