Default Help me change the order of clothes in BodyShop, please.
I am Russian, I could not find help on Russian-language forums, so I will ask a question here:
Does anyone know how I can change the order of clothes in Bodyshop? It just happens to me that I mistakenly pick up the wrong color for some part of the clothes and will be forced to fix the clothes. The result is such a mess with colors (for example, purple tights):

Are you asking how to make the outfits appear in a different order in the catalog, or do you actually want help to change the colour of the clothes (for example, make the purple tights green)?

In addition to the Sortindex, you can also add a tooltip to describe the color, creator, fiilename, or anything else you may like to have there. This makes it easier to find them in Bodyshop (some items also have tooltips ingame in some of the menus - mostly accessories, makeup and hair, though).

(Personally I like to give my files a descriptive filename with the creator name first, then a short name for the set/outfit/etc., and the color/pattern at the end, because then they'll sort very well in a folder - and then I use the filename as the tooltip. If these were my files I'd probably name them something along the lines of "Theraven_SkirtBootsTights_Purple").

This can help you quite a bit if you for instance give items in the same set the same Sortindex. I think files sort alphabetically if the Sortindex is the same (or by date - never been entirely sure).

Thank you for the answer, I also want to know how to change the order of clothes in CAS. When I was searching for it online, I also found https://www.reviews.io/company-revi...re/paperell-net website where I found paperell reviews. I am not so good at writing an essay assignment and that is why I always need help from my older brother. And he is out of town and I was worried about my assignments but anymore.

CAS usually has the same (or at least a very similar) order as Bodyshop. If the Sortindex is identical, it may depend on naming order (it's possible they sort after special characters differently, so perhaps CAS sorts [ ] before ( ), but it's opposite for Bodyshop, or something like that, or they do it different by folder order or by creation date. If your files all follow the same naming system, it's possible they'll sort better).

This is only the case for when buying items. In the wardrobes, I'm not sure if there is a system (if there is one, I have yet to discover it, aside from Eaxis clothes being separated from CC clothes).

If you use bodyshapes, you can use the BSOK editor, which can help sort the items by bodyshape, and give custom icons to them.

There's an outfit organizer program here that's possibly a bit more user friendly than SimPE.
