Hi, I have a wanted list which includes a window. Each time I use the auto select
to create the carts, it picks the window piece from a store that notes the glass
is missing.

Is there a way to tell the search to pick a different store instead? I don't
want to 'dislike' the store as I'm sure the rest of their stock is
fine - I just want to use a different one in this case.

Is their stock listed as used? if so, change the wanted list to new items.
Otherwise, the only way I know is to least fav the whole store. I have had to
do it to stores with low lot limits or ridiculous shipping charges.

You can also remove them from the list afterward.  It’s not set in stone

Yes indeed. I use the "least favorite" list all the time as a shopping
tool. I add a note of why the store is on the list, such as "temporary sort",
for situations like yours.

Also if, for example, auto selects 5 stores, I "least favorite" each
store, one at a time, to swap it out and see if the new auto selection chooses
a combination I like better. One of the new shops might also happen to have something
from my "maybe some time" list. I add those treats to my order and am
as happy as a kid who scored a candy bar at the checkout while mom bought groceries.

Thanks all. By 'Least favourite', do you mean 'Dislike'? It sounds
drastic...

Yes.  Favourite » Dislike in the store, or Favourite Store » Least in My Activity
(https://www.bricklink.com/myActivity.asp ).


   It sounds drastic...

It can still be changed later.
