My Wanted List is full. I want to go now and buy. I plan to build my buy order
around the pieces that have the lowest amount of shops listenings. As those pieces
are obv. the rarest one to find. Therefore building around those can reduce S&H.

Is there any way to do that?

Not a whole automatic sort.

You can look at all the parts’ pages to see how many there are currently for
sale.

You can look at their prices in the (sometimes false) assumption that rare =
expensive.  That can be automatized a bit as you can the “Max Price” for all
the lots in your WL by selecting them all and then using the “Price” button at
the top of the WL.  And then you sort by price.
But that stays in the WL, not on the Buy Page.

I have 1000 items hard to look at every parts page...

And expensive = rare is also not true...

I probably have to go with my gut and start with sticker items
