As I suspect many people do, I keep all of my store parts inventory sorted by
Category and then Part Name. This is the way I have everything sorted on my orders,
so it makes for easier order picking to have everything stored the same way.
Sadly, validating my inventory is difficult, though, because this seemingly obvious
sorting method is not available when displaying my store inventory. The best
I can do is to sort by Name, but that leaves many things out of order, like Engines
(in the Aircraft Category) and lots of animals and other miscellaneous pieces.
It seems like it would be pretty easy (and EXTREMELY useful) if I could select
"Condition, Category Name, Item Name, Color Name" as a sorting preference
when displaying Inventory, just as I have it in My Order Settings.

In the meantime you can import your store into BrickStore and sort by category
there to create a nice list.
