Finally -- items are showing in shops in the order they were listed (by Lot
ID Number). No more random mix up (by date listed). The random order used to
change from day to day, too.

This makes it so much better (for me) to check for listing or pricing errors
in my own shop.

Thanks, BrickLink for making this change. The random order didn't make any
sense when sorting a shop by NEWEST ITEMS or by DATE ADDED.

I have been told by long-time sellers that for years and years it was normal
for items to be displayed in the proper order and the random shuffle has only
been occurring for the past few years and nobody knew why. I am glad the shuffle
is gone.

Yeah, that kind of thing seems to happen on Bricklink. Some year or so ago, suddenly
the past list of a part-out got mixed up, and Russell said they were going to
fix this "next week" which was about a year ago. This is still very annoying
every time when doing part-outs, and I hope Bricklink will one day fix this bug
that suddenly came for no reason..

Yes, this is a very good sign! I had used this 'feature' for years to
double-check my work when adding new stock. It's been gone since they switched
the storefronts. I reported the error then, but with all the other things gone
wrong, I am sure this small but useful detail was overlooked.

Well, that was a short-lived success.

Shop listings are shuffled again into random order. GRRRRRR.

Yep. Nice for about 5 minutes while it lasted.

For whoever codes around this place, when items are sorted in shops by Date Added,
please make the second (hidden) field Lot ID. That was we can see what we are
doing IN ORDER.
Thanks!
