Hello, I would love the feature for being able to sort the inventory locations when trying to add inventory to a product manually through Shipstation. The current ordering is based on location creation date which isn't useful at all unless you created all of your locations in an ordered manner from the start.

For example, I have product XYZ at location 5 - 3 - 2 - Rear and would like to add 5 inventory to this out of stock item that was just restocked. Currently, I would have to scroll through all of my inventory locations hoping to find this very specific location (5 - 3 - 2 - Rear) or resort to creating a csv upload for a single item update (this proves faster but inconvenient).

This could be solved easily by enabling sorting or allowing typing in the location instead of searching through a dropdown list of 100s of locations.

I fully agree with this observation—not allowing a sort or even a search in the bin location field makes adding locations a real pain.

Additionally, once you do set up all the locations and you go out of stock on an item, the location gets deleted automatically, and the entire process needs to be done again. Thus, I see two quick fixes:

1) Allow a search in the location field
2) Once a location is set, do not automatically delete the location on stock out.

I am also experiencing similar issues, it is insanely frustrating that you cannot sort inventory locations numerically. Now I am forced to export all of my inventory values, delete all of my locations, and manually put them in order. SO frustrating. So much time wasted in the picking process due to walking back and fourth between locations just to go back to where you just were. Shipstation needs to get this issue sorted. On top of all of that, when an item runs out of inventory, it's like it never existed in the location. So I am forced to pay attention to where things were or go back into the product and review the history to know where that item was stocked. Huge room for improvement for the developers on inventory and locations. 1/5 stars. Not impressed
