Can you set 'parts sort order' for build buy?

I love the way you can make everything orderly in CAS by using settings, CAS, parts sort order. I can't find any setting for this for the build/buy items. Am I missing it or is it just not there?

Think we're gonna have to go with "it's not there." MC doesn't have any functions related to Build/Buy directly like it does with CAS, at least none that I can think of.

The best we can probably do, those who do tackle this endless task, is use Collections to tame the overstuffed catalogs.

@ZeeGee: You may be interested in the following mod made by tizerist at MTS. The mod is actually hosted on their own site rather than MTS though. It was last updated in July 2016 so I believe it's compatible with Patch 1.67/1.69 but I haven't tried it myself.

Like For Like Build and Buy Mode

I discovered this mod by reading a thread at MTS: <a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.p ... ight=build" rel="nofollow">BIG PROJECT: Let's Recategorize the Sims 3 Catalog! Build Buy Overhaul!</a>

Hope you find the links helpful! :-)
