  Please, please, please give us an option to select a default "Sort By" in the
Wanted Lists.
My preference is "Alphabetical" and I note others have asked for this before.
The reverting to "Newest" every time you leave and return to the page is really
tiresome.
For such a useful and clever website I can't believe this is not a do-able
thing.
Does anybody read these ?

You can sort of do it...
Open your Wanted List.
Change the sort order.
Hit the Edit button (in the group of buttons next to search bar).
Then hit the Save button.

Note: this will change the sort order for all your Wanted Lists.

  hi i came to this looking up this item :

 
Part No: 93549pb02  Name: Minifigure, Utensil Bottle, Erlenmeyer Flask with Molded Trans-Purple Fluid Pattern
* 
93549pb02 Minifigure, Utensil Bottle, Erlenmeyer Flask with Molded Trans-Purple Fluid Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Utensil, Decorated

  and i wanted to know if i could use it in a mock...
yet to my surprises there is no note to how tall or wide this thing is in plate
or bricks etc ....

It’s 5 plates high and almost a brick (= 3 plates) wide (so more than a stud
= 2.5 plates).


  it nicely says the actual size but that means nothing to me in my brick maths....

It’s packing dimensions, it’s useful for packing (the height includes the stud…
and a bit more).

Every part doesn’t have a dimension in studs.

And, generally, the complaints are about the stud dimensions:
— the third one is in bricks (so a 1x1 brick is 1x1x1, not 1x1x1.2),
— a DUPLO 2x4 brick and a LEGO 2x4 brick have the same dimensions: 2x4x1.


  it would be handy if such items would be expressed in ex : cylinder 1x1x2??

now im stuck guessing before i have it in hand...

i know its a pain to ad this after the fact but it would be handy to have this
info before i buy...

dont know if there are many of these items honestly its the first time im wondering
this after using brick link for years...

sorry if this subject already came up

Hint:

1 stud is approximately 5/16 inches (7.9375 mm)
1 plate is approximately 1/8 inches (3.175 mm)
1 brick is exactly 3 plates

Most parts on BrickLink are expressed in units of both inches/millimetres and
plates/studs. For example:
 
Part No: 87926  Name: Cylinder Half 3 x 6 x 6 with 1 x 2 Cutout
* 
87926 Cylinder Half 3 x 6 x 6 with 1 x 2 Cutout
Parts: Cylinder {Dark Purple}

However, since this particular part is a minifigure utensil/accessory, it may
not have standard plate/stud dimensions. It appears to be about 2 bricks tall
and a little bit more than 1 stud in diameter. However, the only way to find
out for sure is to buy a couple, or ask someone who owns some if they can provide
more accurate dimensions.
