This guide will show you how to sort and filter your orders by date, QC status, and category for perfect organization.
Why Filtering is Your Secret Weapon
Before diving in, understand the power at your fingertips. Filtering your SuperBuy order spreadsheet allows you to:
- Instantly find items
- Plan your shipments
- Track spending
- Reduce clutter and mental load

Step-by-Step: Filtering Your SuperBuy Spreadsheet
1. Sort by Order Date
Keep a chronological view of your purchasing journey.
- Locate the column containing your order dates (e.g., "Ordered On").
- Click the dropdown arrow in the column header.
- Select "Sort A to Z""Sort Z to A"
Pro Tip: Use this to quickly find your latest orders or review older ones that should have arrived at the warehouse.
2. Filter by QC Status
This is crucial for efficient warehouse management.
- Find the column indicating QC status, often titled "Status," "QC," or "Warehouse Status."
- Click the filter dropdown arrow in the header.
- You will see a list of statuses like "Pending""Stored""Inspected".
- Deselect "Select All" and then check only the status you want to view, e.g., "Stored."
Your spreadsheet will now display only items with that specific status, allowing you to focus on giving QC approval or preparing for shipment.
3. Organize by Product Category
Group similar items to plan outfits or consolidated shipments.
- If your spreadsheet has a "Remarks" or "Category" column where you or your agent has noted item types (e.g., "shoes," "jacket," "electronics"), use that.
- Click the filter dropdown for that column.
- From the list, choose one category (e.g., "Shoes"). You can also use the search box within the filter menu to find specific keywords quickly.
This view helps you assess items by type, making it easier to compare similar products or manage space/weight in your parcel.
