  It would be very helpful if you could include some horizontal lines (and possibly
an alternating light background shade) on the "Orders Placed" page between the
listed orders so the eye can easily track from the order number on the left to
the Status & Feedback fields to ensure buyers are changing the Status and adding
feedback to the correct order.

Agree. I still don't understand the new BL's love for contrasting white
with extremely light gray. This applies to set inventories, part-outs, etc. as
well. It's hard to enough to sell Lego just having to figure out Light Gray,
Light Bluish Gray, Pearl Light Gray, Flat Silver...!

This tracking from left to right that you describe has become a kind of bottleneck
in my otherwise smoothly automated selling routine. It's a potential cause
for mistakes, it's tedious and there's no reason for it to be that way.

I can see each order without any issues.

Maybe you could change the contrast on your computer screen?

I do also see the alternating shades for each line. However, this doesn't
do a lot to avoid the issue of having to scroll horizontally (and potentially
losing track of what line we are looking at).

There are a few ways this could be fixed. I think the first thing would be to
let each order take up 2 lines. Even though this would take up more vertical
space, vertical scrolling is MUCH better than horizontal scrolling on a webpage.

Second, all of the editable fields and button should be grouped together. We
shouldn't need to scroll all the way over to click the feedback button
or add a tracking number. Anything interactive should be on the left, so we know
it all belongs to the same order, and the non-interactive info (the dates, the
payment type, the grand total) can be off to the side a bit. Better yet, let
us arrange the columns however we like.

And third, a lot of this should be editable on the Order Details screen. That
way, we have a single order up, we can see exactly what is in the order, making
it really easy to enter information like shipping cost, tracking number, and
leaving feedback (and knowing for sure that we are entering this on the right
order).
