Order In Inventory Please

Would you please give us some sort of system where it is easier to find items we need in our Sim's inventory. I spend so much time in the game trawling through hundreds of items trying to find the one thing I want! We are forced to keep fish, gardening items, collectables like frogs etc, herbal remedies, and so the list goes on and on. I never found this to be a problem with the previous Sim games as it was quite easy to find the items either because it was available on selecting the Sim in question, or an object that required a certain item from the inventory and I just clicked on it. Maybe give us categories under particular items so we can see fish under one category (i.e. fish), herbal remedies under one category, collectables under one category and so on.................. This aspect of the game is time very consuming. I spend so much time having to go through my Sims inventory clearing out items so it makes a little less tiresome trying to find items! It would help a great deal if things were listed under a category instead of all being lumped together in the Sims inventory. The game is getting bigger and bigger with things we need to keep to do things I feel this needs to be addressed
