How do I search, filter, and sort my inventory?

How do I search, filter, and sort my inventory?

Written by Shane Jordan

Use the search bar at the top of the Inventory screen to find items by title, SKU, or stock number. Use filters and sort options to narrow results.

Searching

Type in the search bar to find items by:

  • Title -- Any word in the item name

  • Category -- The item's category

  • Platform -- The selling platform

  • SKU -- Your unique identifier

  • Stock number -- Flippd's auto-assigned number

Quick Chips at the Top

At the top of the Inventory screen, you'll see chips for quick access:

  • Status chip (filter) -- Tap to filter by Unlisted, Listed, Sold, or Death Pile. This is the only filter chip in the quick chip row -- there's no price filter chip. Each status shows a count of how many items match, so you can see at a glance how your inventory breaks down. The counts update in real time as you add, list, and sell items.

  • Sort chip (not a filter) -- Tap to change the sort order. This chip changes how items are ordered, not which items appear. See Sorting below for the available options.

  • Active filter badges -- When filters are active (from the Status chip or Advanced Filtering), they appear as dismissible chips. Tap the X on any chip to remove that filter, or tap Clear All to reset everything.

To filter by anything other than status (category, platform, date range, etc.), use Advanced Filtering below.

Advanced Filtering

Tap the filter icon for more detailed filtering:

  • Status -- Unlisted, Listed, Sold, Death Pile

  • Category -- Clothing, Electronics, etc.

  • Platform -- eBay, Poshmark, etc.

  • Storage Location -- Where items are stored

  • Date range -- When items were added or sold

  • Source -- Where you sourced the items

Sorting

Sort your inventory by:

  • Last Modified -- Most recently edited first

  • Date Created -- When the item was added to Flippd

  • Date Acquired -- When you sourced the item

  • Date Listed -- When the item went up for sale

  • Date Sold -- When the sale was recorded

Tap the same sort option twice to toggle between ascending and descending order.

Good to Know

  • Combine search with filters for precise results (e.g., search "Nike" + filter by "Listed")

  • Status counts on chips give you a quick inventory health check without opening reports

  • Clear all filters to see your entire inventory

  • Scan a QR code to instantly find items by storage location

  • If you can't find an item, check that no filters are active

  • Tapping a category or platform in Reports also filters the Inventory screen

  • Filters only change what's shown on screen — they do not apply to exports. Exporting (Tools > Import/Export) always includes all data or a full selected year; to get a filtered report, export first and filter in Excel or Google Sheets
