I organize my inventory often. Makes it easy to see all my skins and looks awesome.
I had some of these guidelines done for myself. I figured some people may appreciate them.
These guidelines are broad and inclusive to all options, but there is still room for alternatives.
Take these indications as mere guidelines and do as you feel looks and works best for you.


This guide accounts for everything, all items and their inherent characteristics.
It accounts for the most usual types of inventory ordering schemes.
It is designed to be read fully, then used as a quick reference guide while reordering.
It also includes solutions for The bug, read more below.


Inventory organizing is limited to what can be traded, marketed, customized or deleted.
Untradeable and Unmarketable items are, therefore, excluded from reorganizations.
All item inherent limitations will be detailed when we reach the items in question in the guide.
It is also a time consuming task, which can also get on your nerves if you mess up.

• The first page of your inventory is the one that you see when you open your inventory
  
• The first page is the NEWEST and the last page is the OLDEST
  
• "Item X then Item Y" means that item X is the OLDEST item
  
• "Item X > Item Y" means that item X is the OLDEST item
  
• In lists, first item is the OLDEST item
  
• OLDEST means that the item must be placed in the inventory before the NEWEST items

Last guide update: Full-guide improvement (2025-06-23)

On the 2024-04-02, Valve introduced a protection which hides your purchased or traded items for the first 10 days from the public. This in itself isn't an issue, however...

• If you had any Storage Units purchased before this date, you'll have the bug.
  
• The bug is only visible to other users, you can't see it yourself when logged in.
  
• The bug basically scrambles how your items are presented to the public.
  
• The more Storage Units you had before this date, the worse the scrambling is.
  
• The bug can HIDE your items permanently from the public.

This is my inventory, as I see it:


This is my inventory, when anybody else is seeing it:


As you can clearly see, even with few items, it's a mess. The newly acquired (But older than 10 days) items are showing up on the bottom of the first page and beginning of the second page (Sticker capsule, Music Kit), while old items show up first.

The most obvious error is the Global Offensive medal, released in 2023-09-27, showing up as being OLDER than the Operation Riptide Diamond coin, an operation which was released in 2021-09-21 and finished in 2022-02-21.

A user, with a single storage unit owned, showcased me that one of his items was even GONE from public view, with no trade/market holds and it being older than 10 days in his inventory. I was unable to reproduce this myself.

Absolutely sucks because well... any storage unit bought before 2024-04-02, you must empty it, DELETE it, and buy a new one (If you still have a need for storage units). No other (cheaper) solution has been found as of yet. Storage units cost 1.75€ as of writing.

• 1 - Using Steam Market
  
• 2 - Using Stickers, Patches, Charms or Name Tags
  
• 3 - Trading with alt account

Essentially, storage units do NOT put items you retrieve in the first slot of your inventory.
Items, when retrieved, go back to the place they were before being stored.
TLDR, we can't use them for reordering our inventory.
However, these are useful to hide your trash.

There is no best method, each one fills a gap that another method has.
For simplicity and speed, follow my listed order above.
For a fully free method, ignore the second option.
On a majorly big inventory, it's likely that you'll use all three methods.

This is the best way of doing it.
Most items can be listed for just a bit more than market and you won't risk losing them.
Careful if it's a low-float or with pricey stickers/charms! Do proper pricing research or severely overprice it to be safe.
Then you can just remove the listings by the order you wish to have and it's done!

Limitations:

• ALWAYS CONFIRM THE PRICES OF SKINS BEFORE CONFIRMING IN YOUR PHONE!
  
• Must plan ahead the end result, I recommend writing down a list of items per order
  
• You are limited to a incoming "If I sell" value of 20.000$.
  
• You are limited to a max buyer purchase value of about 2.000$ per item.
  
• As implied in the previous point, cannot be used in items worth more than 2.000$.
  
• For items worth more than 2.000$, use option 2 or 3 as substitutes.
  
• Remember that this will remove all kills on your StatTrak skins!
  
• There's always the chance of a random buyer acquiring your skin!
  
• Majority of the extensions are NOT consistent with the order of items when clicking "Remove all listings"

• Use Steam Wizard. This extension's multiple selection tool lists your items by the order you select them! Start selecting from the oldest to the newest skin you want in your inventory.
  
• Give all selected items prices above their market value to avoid selling them accidentally.
  
• In your phone, scroll down and select, from the bottom to the top, 7 skins to confirm.
  
• After all listings are done, confirm in the market page that the skins are in the order that you want (From top to bottom). If yes, click "Remove all".
  
• In rare cases, some skins may be scrambled in the market page.
  
• Do batches of no more than 14 skins so you can almost always rely on the "Remove all".
  
• Confirming more than 7 skins at once on the phone increases scrambling probability.

This method is mostly used for items that are worth more than market price cap.
It can also be used with StatTrak skins to retain their kill count.

If ANY of the items used in this method has a trade or market hold, the hold will be RESET.
This means your initial 7 day hold, which is now 2 days away from disappearing, will return as a 7 days hold!

Also, ANY item that was acquired within the last 10 days, through market or trade, will make the associated item in this method be hidden from public view for 10 days. I assume it happens just like described above, where an item acquired 8 days ago (thus 2 days away from being visible) turns into a renewed 10 days hidden from public view.

• Stickers can be found for as low as 0.03€, making them the cheapest option.
  
• Applying or removing a sticker will place your skin in the first slot of your inventory.
  
• Don't forget to remove the sticker immediately after applying it if you don't want it!
  
• The sticker will be destroyed upon removal.

• Patches are the Agent's equivalent to Stickers for Weapon skins.
  
• Applying or removing a patch will place your Agent in the first slot of your inventory.
  
• Don't forget to remove the patch immediately after applying it if you don't want it!
  
• The patch will be destroyed upon removal.

• Charms can be resold, BUT detaching them will cost 0.30€ per utilization.
  
• Applying a charm will place your skin in the first slot of your inventory.
  
• Removing the charm will place the charm as the newest item and the skin as the second newest item in your inventory.
  
• Don't forget to remove the charm immediately after applying it if you don't want it!
  
• The charm can be resold upon removal.

• Name tags cost 1.75€, which make them the worse option.
  
• Considering one can use Charm removal tool for 0.30€, I see no use case for this option.
  
• Applying or removing a name tag will place your skin in the first slot of your inventory.
  
• Don't forget to remove the name tag immediately after applying it if you don't want it!
  
• The name tag will be destroyed upon removal.

This method is terrible as you will have to wait 7 days to get your items back and you can't trade them with others for 14 days overall. It also takes loads of time to send items by order.
Still, I list it for those who have no access to the Steam Market, as well as this being the only workaround for non-customizable items that cost more than 2.000$.

Pro tip: If you don't have Steam Market access but have steam funds, enable access to Steam Market by buying any sticker in CSGO and reselling it once you have Market Access. If you "don't have Steam Market" because you are asked the details after the 200 listings, if you are NOT in the US, you can fill them as you wish, that information is only "Held to legal grounds" in the US ;)

• Send all items to the alt account and wait 7 days.
  
• Send back your items by order. Below is a example of doing it.
  
• Say you have ABCD12543EF and you want to order it to ABCDEF12345
  
• Send one offer with 5
  
• Send one offer with 4
  
• Send one offer with 3
  
• Send one offer with 12
  
• Send one offer with EF
  
• Accept offers starting from top (Oldest) to bottom (newest) to achieve EF12345.
  
• Send one offer with ABCD
  
• Accept the last offer to achieve ABCDEF12345.

Limitations:

• You are capped at 5 active trade offers for the same player.
  
• If you do any mistake, you need to wait 14 days to fix it (Without Steam Market access)
  
• Remember that this will remove all kills on your StatTrak skins!

If you want to keep your StatTrak kills, you have three options:

• A) Use option 2 (Read above).
  
• B) Noting them down and farming them back.
  
• C) Using the StatTrak Swap Tool and a dummy skin.

Limitations:

• A) Option 2 comes at a price, but there are stickers for as low as 3 cents. Charms and Charm removal tools can be used on fully stickered skins.
  
  
• B) You must note down all skin kills individually, reorder your inv, then go to an achievement idle server with many players to farm all weapons to original values. It may take quite a while if your kill count is very high.
  
  
• C) A dummy skin can be bought and resold in the Steam Market. It's still a money spending technique and it requires funds to buy the dummy skins. I haven't tested myself, but according to the comments, when using the StatTrak Swap Tool, the skin you select first will be OLDER/AFTER the skin you select secondly. I still recommend using the tool to replace kills right after de-listing the skin from the market/receiving it from trade offer before continuing with your inventory reorder.

I order items in a way that the loadout is the newest in the inventory, followed by items that can customize loadout items, followed by items that contain customization options for the loadout, finishing in miscellaneous tools and completely untradeable and unmarketable items. In case of ambiguity, I ordered the items chronologically. After all limitations considered, we end up with the following list:

• Untradeable & Unmarketable items
  
• Genuine Pins
  
• Vanilla skins and Bomb
  
• Tools
  
• Passes
  
• Pins Capsules
  
• Graffiti Boxes
  
• Music Kit Boxes
  
• Patches Packs
  
• Sticker Capsules
  
• Tournament Sticker Capsules
  
• Gifts
  
• Souvenir Packages
  
• Cases
  
• Patches
  
• Stickers
  
• Charms
  
• Pins
  
• Graffiti
  
• Music Kits
  
• Agents
  
• SKINS
  
• TRADING ITEMS

Untradable & Unmarketable items are impossible to be reordered.
The following items are Untradable & Unmarketable:

• Green colored title/border items
  
• Major Medals and Trophies
  
• 5 & 10 Years Medals
  
• Operation Medals
  
• Pickem Medals
  
• Loyalty Badge
  
• 10 Year Birthday Coin
  
• Global Offensive Badge
  
• Premier Season X Medal
  
• Promotional Items
  
• Unsealed Graffiti *
  
• Bonus Rank XP **
  
• Genuine Pins ***
  
• Storage Units ****
  
• StatTrak Swap tool *****
  
• Charm Detachment tools ******

* These can be used or eliminated.
** Bonus Rank XP Packs can be consumed, you can "order them" by making them disappear.
*** Genuine Pins can only be ordered WHEN ADDING THEM, add them by the order you want.
**** If the Storage Unit is empty, you can delete it.
***** You can use them to make them disappear.
****** You can unbox them to make them disappear.

The only way one can order these is if they are all activated by order.
Once activated, these can NOT be reordered (Unmarketable and Untradeable).
If you are going to activate them, you should activate the Series 1 first, then Series 2, then Series 3. Within the series, follow rarity and alphabetical order. Follow these lists below to do so. Lines in bold signify both Remarkable (Restricted/Purple) and Extraordinary (Covert/Red) items.

Series 1:

• Train
  
• Tactics
  
• Nuke
  
• Guardian
  
• Victory
  
• Militia
  
• Italy
  
• Mirage
  
• Inferno
  
• Guardian Elite
  
• Dust 2

Series 2:

• Phoenix
  
• Guardian 2
  
• Bravo
  
• Baggage
  
• Overpass
  
• Office
  
• Cobblestone
  
• Cache
  
• Bloodhound
  
• Valeria Phoenix
  
• Chroma

Series 3:
• Welcome to the Clutch
  
• Guardian 3
  
• Death Sentence
  
• Canals
  
• Wildfire
  
• Inferno 2
  
• Easy Peasy
  
• Hydra
  
• Aces High
  
• Howl
  
• Brigadier General

By themselves, vanilla skins and the bomb can NOT be reordered (Unmarketable and Untradeable).
You can, however, spend a sticker or a name tag to bring them to the first slot of your inventory, allowing you to reorder them. It costs money every time you reorder, but it's the only way to bring your sick vanilla crafts to the early pages of your inventory. I recommend to leave the bomb as-is. It is, in a way, a showcase of the pre-CS2 era, where one had to edit game files to apply the name tag to the bomb. In a way, it's its own medal/pin.

Chronological order, followed by a rarity order followed by alphabetical order. I do concede the small arms to be ordered by weapon, followed by rarity, as a nod to the weapon skins being ordered in the same manner. Color coding is quite impossible due to the immense color possibilities (10k) within charms. I also add the Small Arms collection last, to mimic the overall inventory (Random items as oldest, weapons as newest). Lines in bold signify both Remarkable (Restricted/Purple) and Extraordinary (Covert/Red) items.

I think it's common sense to split Terrorist from the Counter-Terrorists, with the T's being the oldest in the inventory. However, I feel like reordering agents is a highly subjective topic for having multiple good methods of doing so, therefore, I will list below the information I have and you decide for yourself on how to order them.
Beyond the T and CT split, you have five main options from which you must select the order of importance:

• Order alphabetically
  
• Order chronologically
  
• Order by rarity
  
• Order by agent
  
• Order by faction

• Alphabetically: Use an website such as The Alphabetizer
  
• Chronologically: Shattered Web > Broken Fang > Riptide
  
• Rarity: Check it on CSGOStash, in inventory or in game
  
• Agents: Keep reading the guide for more information
  
• Factions:
  
  • Terrorists: The Professionals > Sabre > Phoenix > Guerrilla Warfare > Elite Crew
    
  • Counter-Terrorists: TACP (USAF) > SWAT > SEAL (NSWC) > SAS > KSK > Gendarmerie Nationale > FBI > Brazillian

My current opinion is that splitting the T's from the CT's, then ordering per faction, then agent, then rarity, then alphabetically is the one that makes sense (Ignore chronological). That way, factions are in a group, but then you can select the agent skin you prefer, rarity is "just a color" and alphabetical is just to top it off.
However, chronological, followed by rarity, then faction, then alphabetically also makes a lot of sense. Ignoring rarity in this option is also acceptable so as to keep all from one faction together.


On the "Factions" section, in bold, I marked the agents that have a unique voice.
If you see a star ( * ) after the name, it means this voice is NOT unique to the agent model, but rather a faction general voice (Which is still new compared to the game's debut).

Fun fact, Shattered Web promised that Master agents would be the only ones having special voices, but that promise has already been broken (Partially in Broken Fang, totally in Riptide).
In Broken Fang, we got female agents for The Professionals faction, which forced Valve to add female voice lines (Getaway Sally and Safecracker Voltzmann, both not Master agents).
In Riptide, we got new factions such as Guerrilla Warfare and Gendarmerie Nationale, which forced Valve to add voice lines for these. Beyond this, we got reskins of previous Master agents (Bloody Darryl The Strapped, not a Master agent), forcing more non-Master agents to have different/unique voice lines.
The CSGO Blog post for the Shattered Web operation has been corrected to remove such promise. Nice one Valve!


The faction name is the name of the soldier's "division", followed by the organization they work for in brackets. Example: TACP (USAF) » TACP Soldier working for USAF.
Also would like to apologize for any inconsistency, mistake and generalization of the different real life factions, countries of origin and the correct name for each. I tried my best but I might have failed. Assume ignorance, not malign intents. Thank you.

• G3SG1
  
• SCAR-20

• Color coding
  
• Rarity ordering
  
• Alphabetical ordering
  
• Chronological ordering

• Interchangeable weapons - Which is first?
  
• Regular vs StatTrak vs Souvenirs skins - Which is first?
  
• Stickered skins - What to prioritize?
  
• Same skins, different wear values - What now?

* This is a CSGO legacy thing, when we could follow the buy menu's default weapon order as a model for organization. I kept it this way as it's still a very logical way of organizing, going from cheap and low-lethality to the big guns.

My opinion is that it makes sense to follow what we used to have in CSGO's buy menu. The list is present in the section above. That's because that way, all pistols are together, then all shotguns, machineguns, submachineguns, rifles and lastly, snipers.
It is understandable, however, if you'd prefer to have the prominent weapons first, and the non-meta weapons last.
You can (and should) order the interchangeable weapons (Eg: Deagle OR R8) in a way that the weapons you use the most are the most recent in your inventory, for easy access in the inventory page. Also, MP9 > MP7 > MP5 due to number ordering, inverting the last two would make no sense.


In my opinion, the most satisfying of the results. Within each weapon, we follow one of three options, all of which start from this principle: Black (Older) to White (Newer), then followed by the color spectrum, starting at Ultraviolet (Older) and ending in Red (Newer).



Color shifting between the color spectrum is hard. You have three options:

• Basic: Split colors and throw it all randomly
  
• Option A: Organic dark to light to dark shifting
  
• Option B: Abrupt color separation, each color starts dark and fades to light
  
• Option C: Like B, but invert Yellow, Orange and Red to give a smooth shifting between these.

I can't go into detail on each skin as we are over 1000 skins at the moment. Generally:

• Basic: Black > Gray > White > Violet > Pink > Blue > Green > Brown > Yellow > Orange > Red
  
  
• Option A: Black > Gray > White > Violet > Pink > Dark Blue > Light Blue > Light Green > Dark Green > Dark Brown > Light Brown > Light Yellow > Dark Yellow > Dark Orange > Light Orange > Light Red > Dark Red
  
  
• Option B: Black > Gray > White > Violet > Pink > Dark Blue > Light Blue > Dark Green > Light Green > Dark Brown > Light Brown > Dark Yellow > Light Yellow > Dark Orange > Light Orange > Dark Red > Light Red
  
  
• Option C: Black > Gray > White > Violet > Pink > Dark Blue > Light Blue > Dark Green > Light Green > Dark Brown > Light Brown > Light Yellow > Dark Yellow > Light Orange > Dark Orange > Light Red > Dark Red

Some notes about color coding:

• In mixed color skins, use the most visually dominant color in the thumbnail to decide the skin's placement
  
• Patterns! A blue Case Hardened should be placed as a blue skin instead of it's gray icon. It will look weird in the inventory page, but that will also indicate the viewer that there's more than meets the eye for that particular skin ; )

This is straightforward. Within each weapon, you start from the lowest rarity and go up. You can include alphabetical ordering within each rarity. Rarities from lowest to highest:

• Consumer grade
  
• Industrial grade
  
• Mil-Spec
  
• Restricted
  
• Classified
  
• Covert

Even more straightforward, within each weapon you simply order them by their names. Write all the names down and use a alphabetizer website to order it automatically for you.


This option is bad considering how many skins came out at the same time. You can mitigate the effects with additional alphabetic ordering, but IMO, any of the other three options is far better than this one. Regardless, collections that came out from older to newer:

• Assault, Aztec, Dust, Inferno, Militia, Nuke, Office, Vertigo, Weapon Case 1, Esports Red '13
  
• Alpha, Bravo
  
• Weapon Case Nº2

• Kilowatt
  
• Graphics, Overpass 2024, Sports & Fields, Deagle Heat Treated, Gallery
  
• Train 2025, Radiant, Boreal, Ascent, XM1014 Seasons, Fever

As said before, you can (and should) order the interchangeable weapons (Eg: Deagle OR R8) in a way that the weapons you use the most are the most recent in your inventory, for easy access in the inventory page.
List of interchangeable weapons:

• P2000 and USP-S
  
• CZ75 and Tec-9 & 5-7
  
• Deagle and R8 Revolver
  
• MP7 and MP5-SD
  
• M4A4 and M4A1-S

You have two options:

• Split them into categories, having StatTrak as the newest and the regulars as the oldest.
  
• Ignore and treat them just like any other skin.

If you choose the second option and you have repeated skins, the special variant should be the newest. Example (Oldest to newest): Galil VariCamo > Cerberus > Souvenir Cerberus > Chatterbox > StatTrak Chatterbox.


Depends on your collection.

Say you have a large Kato 14 collection, you can either try and highlight these skins by putting them all together at the beginning of your inventory, you can let these be the newest skin within their weapon or you can follow previous instructions and ignore the stickers, only caring for repeated skins (Say AK Redline 4x IBP and 4x Titan OR Same skin but Kato 14 and Kato 15) where you can color-code them or event/theme-code them.

This is the most subjective part of the guide, in which you should choose for yourself what looks and feels best for your inventory.
Souvenirs follow the same ideals, however, you should follow a chronological and then alphabetical ordering within the option you choose.


There are two situations:

• Situation A: Regular scratching skins
  
• Situation B: Patina/Gunsmith skins and some Situation A exceptions

This is what I would do:

• Situation A: The worst float is the oldest in your inventory (So BS > WW > FT > MW > FN).
  
• Situation B: Some skins colors change drastically from FN to BS. You should follow their in-game colors to order them. So for example, you have a FN and BS XM1014 Teclu Burner, the FN one is older than the BS because the FN is yellowish and the BS one is red. Like I stated previously, It will look weird in the inventory page, but that will also indicate the viewer that there's more than meets the eye for that particular skin ; )

What about name tagged weapons?
Ignore the name and follow previous instructions, unless you have 2+ equal skins with name tags, in which case you should follow a alphabetical ordering between those skins while still following previous instructions.

These should be before the knives because you put on gloves before picking up the knife (lol).
Three ordering options:

• Alphabetically
  
• Personal taste
  
• Chronologically

The most objective method, which can count with color coding within. The list goes as follows:

• Sport Gloves
  
• Specialist Gloves
  
• Moto Gloves
  
• Hydra Gloves
  
• Hand Wraps
  
• Driver Gloves
  
• Broken Fang Gloves
  
• Bloodhound Gloves

There are so little gloves that one can easily personalize it's inventory per-taste. Essentially a "free card" as far as organizing goes. Mix it all up, bundle the same glove model together only, do whatever (This goes for the WHOLE guide. This guide is just a man's opinion on what should be done).


The worst ordering option imo. Glove models came out all at the same time, only skins came out at different times. Regardless, here's the skins list from oldest to newest:

Gloves and Hydra case:

• Sports Gloves: Superconductor, Pandora's Box, Hedge Maze, Arid
  
• Specialist Gloves: Foundation, Forest DDPAT, Emerald Web, Crimson Kimono
  
• Moto Gloves: Spearmint, Eclipse, Cool Mint, Boom!
  
• Hand Wraps: Spruce DDPAT, Slaughter, Leather, Badlands
  
• Driver Gloves: Lunar Weave, Crimson Weave, Convoy, Diamondback
  
• Bloodhound Gloves: Snakebite, Guerilla, Charred, Bronzed

Clutch case:

• Sports Gloves: Vice, Omega, Bronze Morph, Amphibious
  
• Specialist Gloves: Mogul, Fade, Crimson Web, Buckshot
  
• Moto Gloves: Turtle, Transport, POW!, Polygon
  
• Hydra Gloves: Rattler, Mangrove, Emerald, Case Hardened
  
• Hand Wraps: Overprint, Duct Tape, Cobalt Skulls, Arboreal
  
• Driver Gloves: Racing Green, Overtake, King Snake, Imperial Plaid

Broken Fang case:

• Sports Gloves: Slingshot, Scarlet Shamagh, Nocts, Big Game
  
• Specialist Gloves: Tiger Strike, Marble Fade, Lt. Commander, Field Agent
  
• Moto Gloves: Smoke Out, Finish Line, Blood Pressure, 3rd Commando Company
  
• Hand Wraps: Giraffe, Desert Shamagh, Constrictor, CAUTION!
  
• Driver Gloves: Snow Leopard, Rezan the Red, Queen Jaguar, Black Tie
  
• Broken Fang Gloves: Yellow-Banded, Unhinged, Needle Point, Jade

Beyond the usual color coding we used in skins, we must choose a way to order our knives.
In any of these, I believe personal taste should reign above the lists when it comes to the models.
Three ordering options:

• Alphabetically - For Models (mostly)
  
• Chronologically - For Models (mostly)
  
• Color coding - For Skins
  
• Skin grouping - For (highlighting) Skins

The most objective method, which can count with color coding within. The lists go as follows:

• Damascus Steel
  
• Crimson Web
  
• Case Hardened
  
• Bright Water
  
• Boreal Forest
  
• Blue Steel
  
• Black Laminate
  
• Autotronic

Chronological ordering can be done for both Models and Skins.
Models:

• Karambit > M9 Bayonet > Gut > Flip > Bayonet
  
• Huntsman
  
• Butterfly
  
• Falchion
  
• Daggers
  
• Bowie
  
• Ursus > Talon > Stiletto > Navaja
  
• Classic
  
• Survival > Skeleton > Paracord > Nomad
  
• Kukri

Finishes:

• Urban Masked > Stained > Slaughter > Scorched > Safari Mesh > Night > Forest DDPAT > Fade > Crimson Web > Case Hardened > Boreal Forest > Blue Steel
  
• Ultraviolet > Tiger Tooth > Rust Coat > Marble Fade > Doppler > Damascus Steel
  
• Lore > Gamma Doppler > Freehand > Bright Water > Black Laminate > Autotronic

This one is obvious, see skins color coding for guidance.

So you have a Lore and Black Laminate collection? Use this for the ultimate collection showcase!
Essentially, group the skins so all knives with the same skin are next to each other. You can still use a alphabetical, chronological or just personal taste to order the models so that, between skin groups, the models of knives are by the same order. Follow the color coding for ultimate delight.
This option is the best for large knives collections.

"One man's trash is another man's treasure", famous quote that, in CSGO CS2, you can be both men! Nowadays, one can select which type of trash to receive from the weekly drop, which simplifies processes, and makes "trash" a bad name for the category...
You have the following options to deal with trash:

• Steam Market
  
• Place in Storage unit
  
• Trade it to another account
  
• Tradeup into something else
  
• Delete it from your inventory

Usually worthless. If you can, sell them. If they don't sell at 3 cents, store them and, at a later date, tradeup into something else that will hold market value so you can sell them.
You can do all options except deleting them.

In rare most instances nowadays, since the introduction of CS2's drop system, graffiti can actually be worth some cents, so try the market first.
If they are worthless, unseal them, then click on them again and choose the "Delete item" option.
All options are available for graffiti.

Some worthless cases can pickup value after a while. The previous sentence is a relic of times past. Nowadays, any case is worth good money right out of the bat, yet still, I highly recommend having a storage unit specifically for cases where you dump them. Return at a very later date to collect profits that generated by themselves!
All options are available for cases, but I strongly advise against you must be an idiot if you resort to deleting them.

This section is but a relic from the times when trading was a hobby for the majority of players. With the introduction of marketplaces and storage units, this section is pretty much obsolete. Can still be useful, for P2P transactions that require the items to be visible at all times to keep the listing of said items visible. The text below hasn't changed since 2019:

Your trading items keep changing regularly. These remain at the very beginning of your inventory.
If you wish to reorder them, use one or both options:

• Follow weapons loadout
  
• Group them by "type" of item

Simple and straightforward, everyone inherently knows where to look for the weapon and skin they want. Color coding is overkill. Anything other than skins should be the oldest in your inventory, working as a separation from your playskins as well.


Depends on what you do. It's a good option when you have multiple, well defined trading niches:

• Case Hardeneds
  
• Kato stickered skins
  
• Low floats
  
• High floats
  
• High tier items
  
• Mid tier items
  
• Liquid items used for price matching

Inventory reordering is full of small details and limitations, but it is a joy when it is complete.
It is also something that only requires tons of work the first time it's ever made.
I tried including all options, but if you think you have a better way of doing things, go ahead!
I only hope my guide has taught you some things and has helped you somehow.
