Add price sorting options at usershop's "Manage Stock"

Decided to fill my shop back up today, discovered that shops now show how many of an item I have (I wonder how it counts items I have in shop or attached to creatures, especially with the latter being reversible for CC items and irreversible for EC items, but I don't really attach stuff to pets often, so can ignore these edge cases for now), thought that was pretty awesome, stocked up.

Sent items to shop, had to search for the newly-added stuff by going through all of my shop stock. Hence this here suggestion/request:

1. "Order: Newest Added" seems to be a "Sort by ID/Item release time", which is not what I need when pricing newest-added-to-my-shop items. Would be great to have a "Show all unpriced" filter or sort order "Newest/Oldest Added to Shop" added.

2. Similarly, "Rarest" sort is useful when picking items for the Toy Drive, but day-to-day I'd more often use the price I got the item for as a sorting criteria. Said price is available in the Inventory and the Item Database, but nowhere in the shop management is it easy to get the price (which is often not at all related to item's rarity, btw). Buying in single-price waves and marking things up in bands is doable, but awkward. So, second sorting order type I'd love to see would be "NPC shop original price Asc/Desc".

Combined with the cool ability to figure out what I have nothing/too much of, these sorting methods (or at least a zero-price filter!) would make shop stocking muuuch more popular and help questers, too 😃

Second both of these! The sorting shop stock feels like a hopefully easy build-in since it's just sorting by ascending/descending values. Would definitely motivate me to price my shop haha

I would love for there to be a quick way to see what an item sells for in the Egg Cave shop so I can price accordingly. Often I'll move stuff en masse and then I don't want to take it out again to check the price in the inventory. I'd maybe like an option to hover over the item to see the restock price, kind of like the shops now have the hover option for how many you already own. Or a whole other column? Not sure what would look best but just some way to get that information on the stock page.

Honestly I've been surprised (repeatedly, since I forget..) by the 'Oldest Added' sort on that page for awhile. It doesn't really make sense to me, why would sorting by when the item was added to the site be helpful at all when pricing your own shop items? Or at least why would it be prioritized over any kind of 'added to shop' filter. Makes no sense. So YES please!
