These are my suggestions to make Rescreatu shopping quicker and easier for all involved. They are focused on Rancher Shops, but I guess they could apply to Merchant Shops, too.
If my ideas seem confusing and vague, please refer to the far more detailed explanations of each individual suggestion below.
I D E A S
-
1) more than one category per Creatu
2) merchandise listed according to price
3) have a "Special" section added to the Basic list

Please read these before criticizing an idea. Your arguments might be addressed here.

1 - Creatu can be sorted in many different ways – rarity, quality of name, amount of training, gender. Shop owners should be able to enter each Creatu in several categories at once, instead of just one category each. That also makes it a lot easier for shoppers to sift through a large quantity of Creatu.
– Even though the Pet Search does have these and more categories, it would be really practical to enable not only filtering through all the Creatu in all the shops, but also Creatu who are just in your favorite shops with the prices and names you like.
– This idea could be adjusted so that the Pet Search allows you to enter a specific shop/s to search in, instead of just generally "Rancher Shops".
2 - Merchandise now is listed in alphabetical order, which is pretty useless for most shoppers. If you are looking for a Creatu with a specific name, just use that Pet Search tool. The better Creatu that shoppers would be looking for and that shop owners would want to advertise often end up scrambled somewhere in the middle of page 3, or lonely and forgotten on page 31805. These Creatu are priced more expensively than the lesser ones, and ordering Creatu in Rancher Shops according to price will help shoppers find better Creatu faster, and Ranchers showcase their stock more effectively, bringing in more revenue and enriching Rescreatu's economy.
– This idea could be adjusted so that there are different options for sorting Creatu, including but not limited to alphabetical order and price. This could be useful in ordering by age and training points, too, which are other assets that most shoppers must hunt for.
3 - The "Basic list" that I refer to is the "Name, Color, Price" beside each Creatu picture in Rancher shops. Beneath is "View Detailed Info". However, I think there should be another section added to the Basic list: "Special". This can specify if the Creatu is mutant, extinct, seasonal, alien, the like.
– Even when you check the Detailed Info, though you can see if it's mutant, there is no section telling you the other types that I mentioned.
– This idea could be adjusted so that this information is viewable under Detailed Info.
