# Browsing & Searching

## Browse by Folder

The catalog is organized into **four main folders**, matching how items are stored in the factory:

1. **ACCESSORIES** — Buttons, zippers, rivets, buckles, eyelets, hooks, needles, tapes, studs, and special items
2. **HANGTAGS & PACKAGING** — Branded hang tags (per customer), polybags, packing materials
3. **LABELS & TAGS** — MARDI branded labels, size labels, tags
4. **LINING & INTERLINING** — Satin lining fabrics in various colours

Click a folder to filter the catalog to only items in that folder.

## Browse by Category

Within each folder, items are grouped into categories. The **category sidebar** on the left shows all categories with item counts.

## Search

Type in the search bar to find items by name. The search filters as you type.

**Search tips:**

* Search by colour: "gun metal", "matt silver"
* Search by size: "15mm", "#5"
* Search by type: "roller buckle", "flat rivet"

## Item Codes

Every item has two identifying codes:

* **Sortly SID** — The original code from Sortly (e.g., `SLUEDT0156`). Used during the transition period.
* **Part #** — Internal code auto-generated by the system (e.g., `BTN-0001`, `ZIP-0042`). This is the permanent reference code.

Both codes appear on the item detail page and can be copied to clipboard.

## Sorting

Items can be sorted by:

* **Name** (A-Z)
* **Price** (low to high, or high to low)
* **Stock** (low to high, or high to low)
* **Last updated**
