When looking at my wanted list(s) I would like the option to show "Active" sellers
first.
Reasoning:
As I find sellers with multiple, low price parts, I can add them to my active
list.
Thanks,

I need 14 2x2 Corners in Tan I had already found BrickWilbo had several other
items I needed so I moved them to My "10101-Wilbo" Wanted list.
Later in my search I figured out I needed to buy parts from Mike's Brick Emporium
- He has some HTF doors I need. Wilbo charges 8c for the corner, Mike 6c. Since
I have already moved this part to the wilbo list, I missed the opportunity to
get it cheaper from Mike. It means I have to do an elaborate second pass on my
lists to see if I can get the parts cheaper from my other active orders (I have
8 suppliers, takes about 5 minutes per part do dig through sellers that I am
not using until I find the cheapest one on my active list. I have 14 pages of
parts! this takes days to get best price! It will be quicker for me to write
a screen scraper application do dig the information out of Bricklink. If I had
Matlab I would already be using the the one written by axledad

I don't see a real difference between "Active" or "Favorites".
Creating lists "by seller" makes it more complicated, time-consuming and confusing.
It's already possible to move/copy parts to a "seller X-list" and search by list.
People use their own strategies within the available features.
Although they could me improved, they work.

this "non"-functionality - They have lots of basic popular parts quite cheap
and multi-listed. They then list premium items with inflated values on the assumption
that when someone has selected a supplier they are likely to fill out the order
with that seller.

Least favorite them.
