How to change the order of items when buying bulk labels...?

[fonky1]

I sell mostly records, which I store in alphabetical order.  Cat Stevens is under C, Elton John is under E, The Kinks is under K, etc.  And the first word of my listings is (using these examples) Cat, Elton, and Kinks.  When I have many orders, it is helpful to sort the orders into alphabetical order so that I can pick out all the items without running back and forth.  When I go to buy bulk labels, it gives me the option to sort the orders by item, which works great me.  EXCEPT then after I pay, they revert to the earlier, seemingly random order in which they started.  Anyone know how to retain the sorting selected on the page where you review the orders?  

Similarly, in a multi-item order...  Someone buys 20 records, and for whatever reason eBay has them in the least convenient order possible, like multiple items by the same artist are not even together and such.  I want that to be sortable too...

eBay's default sort is by time purchased. For multi-item orders the sort is dictated by the order the buyer added items to their shopping cart. There's no way to change that and I don't see eBay putting money into building out a sort option for that.

You can download your orders to Excel and implement your preferred sort orders, but within eBay you're stuck with what their system allows.
