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 followed while reordering, giving you the desired perfection at the end.
It does not forget to tackle trading items or trash you may have in your inventory.


Inventory organizing is limited to what can be traded or placed on steam market.
Untradeable and Unmarketable items are, therefore, excluded from reorganizations.
All item inherent limitations will be detailed as we go on with 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
  
• OLDEST means that the item must be placed in the inventory before the NEWEST items

Last guide update: Armory introduction (2024-11-07).

• 1 - Using Steam Market
  
• 2 - Using Stickers or Nametags
  
• 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.

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. Then you can just remove the listings by order and it's done!

• Use Steam Wizard extension. 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.
  
  
• ALWAYS CONFIRM THE PRICES OF SKINS BEFORE CONFIRMING IN YOUR PHONE!
  
  
• In your phone, go to the bottom of the list and select (From bottom to 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".

Limitations:

• 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.
  
• If done correctly, you wont ever lose a skin to a random buyer, but the chances are still there.
  
• You are limited to a max value of incoming "If I sell" value of 20.000$ (If I'm not mistaken).
  
• You are limited to a max (purchase) value of about 2.000$ per item (If I'm not mistaken).
  
• 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!

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.

• Apply a sticker and your item will go to the first slot in your inventory.
  
• Removing one does the same, so don't forget to remove the sticker after applying it!
  
• Nametags work as well, both naming and removing. Useful for fully stickered skins.

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.

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. Still impossible/expensive on fully stickered skins. Nametags are a steep price if you have multiple StatTrak skins.
  
  
• B) You must note down all skin kills individually, reorder your inv, then go to a 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. Also, I don't know if this process returns skins to the first slot in your inventory, so use the tool to replace kills right after de-listing the skin from the market.

I order items in a way that the most used stuff is the newest in the inventory. In the 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
  
• Passes
  
• Cases
  
• Gifts
  
• Sticker Capsules
  
• Tournament Sticker Capsules
  
• Souvenir Packages
  
• Music Kit Boxes
  
• Pins Capsules
  
• Graffiti Boxes
  
• Patches Packs
  
• Tools
  
• Stickers
  
• Graffiti
  
• Patches
  
• Music Kits
  
• Pins
  
• Agents
  
• Charms
  
• SKINS
  
• TRADING ITEMS

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

• Green title colored items
  
• Major Medals and Trophies
  
• X Year Service Medal
  
• 5 & 10 Years Medals
  
• Operation Medals
  
• Pickem Medals
  
• Loyalty Badge
  
• Promotional Items
  
• Unsealed Graffiti *
  
• Bonus Rank XP **
  
• Genuine Pins ***
  
• Storage Units ****

* 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.

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 this list to do so:

• 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 nametag to bring them to the first slot of your inventory, allowing you to reorder them. It costs money and will look bad again when you obtain new medals.

Start with Operation Passes, followed by the Major Passes.
These should be ordered chronologically. Follow this:

• Operations: Payback > Bravo > Phoenix > Breakout > Vanguard > Bloodhound > Wildfire > Hydra > Shattered Web > Broken Fang > Riptide > Armory
  
  
• Majors: Kato 19 > Berlin 19 > Berlin 19 +3 Tokens > Stockholm 21 > Stockholm 21 +3 Tokens > Antwerp 2022 > Antwerp 2022 +3 Tokens > Rio 2022 > Rio 2022 +3 Tokens > Paris 2023 > Paris 2023 +3 Tokens > Copenhagen 2024 > Copenhagen 2024 +3 Tokens

I have made all lists following chronological order of the containers introduction.

• Cases
  
• Gifts
  
• Sticker Capsules
  
• Tournament Sticker Capsules
  
• Souvenir Packages
  
• Music Kit Boxes
  
• Pins Capsules
  
• Graffiti Boxes
  
• Patches Packs

We have three options:

• Better presentation
  
• Chronologically correct

Better presentation:

• CSGO 1 > CSGO 2 > CSGO 3 > Bravo > Esports 2013 > Esports 2013 Winter > Esports 2014 Summer > Winter Offensive > Phoenix > Huntsman > Breakout > CONTINUE BELOW

Chronologically correct:

• CSGO 1 > Esports 2013 > Bravo > CSGO 2 > Winter Offensive > Esports 2013 Winter > CSGO 3 > Phoenix > Huntsman > Breakout > Esp 2014 Summer > CONTINUE BELOW

Continuation of case ordering:

• Vanguard > Chroma 1 > Chroma 2 > Falchion > Shadow > Revolver > Wildfire > Chroma 3 > Gamma 1 > Gamma 2 > Gloves > Spectrum 1 > Hydra > Spectrum 2 > Clutch > Horizon > Danger Zone > Prisma > CS20 > Shattered Web > Prisma 2 > Fracture > Broken Fang > Snakebite > Riptide > Dreams & Nightmares > Recoil > Revolution > Kilowatt > Gallery

• Gift Pallet > Audience Participation Parcel > Gift Package

• Capsule 1 > Capsule 2 > Community > Enfu > Slid3 > Team Roles > Pinups > Bestiary > Sugarface > Perfect World 2 > Perfect World 1 > Community 2018 > Skill Groups > Feral Predators > Chicken > CS20 > Halo > Half-Life: Alyx > Warhammer 40.000 > Poorly Drawn > 2021 Community > Battlefield 2042 > 10 Year Birthday > Espionage > Ambush

We should order them chronologically, while dividing them by categories in each major, with the oldest being the Team Stickers (Legends > Returning Challengers > Minor Challengers, and for recent years, Legends > Challengers > Contenders) followed by the Autographs Capsules. In each category, follow alphabetic ordering.

• Kato 14 > Cologne 14 > Dreamhack 14 > Kato 15 > Cologne 15 > Dreamhack 15 > MLG Columbus 16 > Cologne 16 > Eleague Atlanta 17 > Krakow 17 > Eleague 18 > Faceit 18 > Kato 19 > Berlin 19 > 2020 RMR > Stockholm 2021 > Antwerp 2022 > Rio 2022 > Paris 2023 > Copenhagen 2024

Same ordering as in the Tournament Sticker Capsules + Map alphabetic ordering:

• General (Map-less) souvenir > Vertigo > Vertigo 2021 > Train > Overpass > Nuke > Nuke 2018 > Mirage > Mirage 2021 > Inferno > Inferno 2018 > Dust 2 > Dust 2 2021 > Cobblestone > Cache > Anubis

• StatTrak™ Radicals Box > StatTrak™ Masterminds Box > Masterminds Box > Tacticians Box > Initiators > Nightmode

• Series 1 > Series 2 > Series 3 > Half-Life: Alyx

• CSGO > Community 1 > Perfect World

• CSGO > Half-Life: Alyx > Stockholm 2021

• General tools: StatTrak Swap Tool > Charm Detachment > Nametags > Capsule Keys > Regular Keys
  
• Capsule Keys order: Capsule 1 > Capsule 2 > Community Capsule
  
• Regular Keys order: Read "Cases" section and follow accordingly.

Regular stickers as the oldest followed by the event stickers. I'm splitting them in three sections, single purchase stickers from capsule stickers from tournament stickers.
Follow a chronological order, followed by a rarity order (Normal > Holo > Foil > Gold) followed by alphabetical order. Within a Event, the oldest should be the Team Stickers then the Autographs Capsules.

• Single Purchase Stickers: Series 2 > Halloween 2014 > Series 3 > Series 4 > Series 5 > Shattered Web > Broken Fang > Recoil > Riptide > Surf Shop > Elemental > Character
  
  
• Regular Stickers: Capsule 1 > Capsule 2 > Community > Enfu > Slid3 > Team Roles > Pinups > Bestiary > Sugarface > Perfect World 1 > Perfect World 2 > Community 2018 > Skill Groups > Feral Predators > Chicken > CS20 > Halo > Half-Life: Alyx > Warhammer 40k > Poorly Drawn > 2021 Community > Battlefield 2042 > 10 Year Birthday > Espionage > Ambush
  
  
• Tournament Stickers: Kato 14 > Cologne 14 > Dreamhack 14 > Kato 15 > Cologne 15 > Dreamhack 15 > MLG Columbus 16 > Cologne 16 > Eleague Atlanta 17 > Krakow 17 > Eleague 18 > Faceit 18 > Kato 19 > Berlin 19 > 2020 RMR > Stockholm 2021 > Antwerp 2022 > Rio 2022 > Paris 2023 > Copenhagen 2024

While we usually do alphabetical order, I suggest ordering the CSGO Pack High Grade patches by operation dates as a nod to the game's history. Also, order by rank in the Metal Skill Group as it just looks nice. The ">>" means rarity change. As such:

• CSGO: Payback > Bravo > Phoenix > Breakout > Vanguard > Bloodhoud > Wildfire > Hydra > Shattered Web >> Welcome to the Clutch > Vigilance > Longevity > Koi > Easy Peasy > Danger Zone > Crazy Banana > Chicken Lover >> The Boss > Rage > Howl > Dragon
  
  
• Half-Life: Alyx: Vortigaunt > Headcrab Glyph > Combine Helmet > CMB > City 17 >> Sustenance! > Lambda > Black Mesa >> Health > Copper Lambda > Alyx
  
  
• Metal Skill Group: Silver > GN > GNM > MG > MGE > DMG > LE > LEM > Supreme > Global >> GN > MG > DMG > LEM > Supreme >> Silver Demon > Global
  
  
• Operation Riptide: Mad Sushi > Giant Squid > El Pirata > Cruising Ray > Anchors Aweigh > Abandon Hope >> Sunset Wave > Meal Time > Death From Below > Dead Men >> Elder God > Bayonet Frog > Aquatic Offensive
  
  
• Stockholm 2021: Rarity, then alphabetical (Too many names to add here)

Chronological order then rarity, followed by alphabetical and color coding.
Split regular graffiti from boxed graffiti from major graffiti, regulars being the oldest.
If you want to use your graffiti, I recommend unsealing everything by the order you want. I don't know if adding recharges returns the graffiti to the first slot.

• Major order: Eleague Atlanta 17 > Krakow 17 > Eleague 18 > Faceit 18
  
• Collection order: CSGO 1 > CSGO 2 > CSGO 3 > Trolling >> CSGO Box > Community 1 > Perfect World
  
  
• CSGO 1: X-Knives > Worry > Tombstone > Toasted > Take Flight > Sorry > Sheriff > Rage Mode > Quickdraw > QQ > Popdog > Piggles > Noscope > Ninja > NaCl > Mr. Teeth > Loser > Lambda > Kiss > King Me > Karambit > Heart > GTG > GLHF > GGWP > GGEZ > Eye Spy > Eat It > Cocky > Bling > Backstab > 8-Ball
  
  
• CSGO 2: Thoughtful > Smirk > Silver Bullet > Shining Star > OMG > Little Crown > Little Bock > Lightbulb > Kiss > Hop > Happy Cat > Grimace > Goofy > Chef Kiss > Broken Heart > Bock Bock > BOOM > BEEP > Applause
  
  
• CSGO 3: Order by weapon type just like in Skins or order by alphabetical order. Either way it's pretty easy to do on your own, whichever option you choose.
  
  
• Trolling: Uh Oh > Smooch > Smarmy > Rly > Question Mark > Puke > Oops > Okay > NT > Little EZ > Fart > Dizzy > Denied > Dead Now > Choke > 200IQ > 1G
  
  
• CSGO Box: Wings > Welcome to the Clutch > Skull n' Crosshairs > Phoenix > Guardian > Easy Peasy > Banana > Ace > Real MVP > R.I.P.I.P. > Kisses > EZ > Crown > Cerberus > Howling Dawn > Fire Serpent > Clutch King
  
  
• Community 1: Winged Defuser > Unicorn > Shooting Star Return > Shave Master > Pocket BBQ > Old School > Ivette > Flickshot > Chabo > Tamara > Rising Skull > Martha > Kawaii Killer Terrorist > Kawaii Killer CT > Hamster Hawk > Rekt > Drug War Veteran > Blood Boiler
  
  
• Perfect World: Zombie Hop > Toy Tiger > Terror Rice > Shaolin > Rice Bomb > Noodles > Non-Veg > Hotpot > God of Fortune > Water Gun > Twin Koi > Rage > Pixiu > Nezha > Cheongsam > Fancy Koi > Guardian Dragon

Promotional Music Kits cannot be reordered. If you own both regular and StatTrak version, the StatTrak version should be the newest. Music kits can be ordered in the following ways:

• Chronologically
  
• Alphabetically
  
• Music Style
  
• Art Cover color coding

Chronological + Alphabetical order:

• Pack 1: Sharpened > Metal > LNOE > Insurgency > High Noon > Desert Fire > Death's Head Demolition > Crimson Assault > A*D*8
  
  
• Pack 2: All I Want For Christmas

• Pack 19 - Nightmode Box: Under Bright Lights > Reason > Make U SWEAT! > Inhuman > Feel The Power > All Night

From oldest to newest and, within each series, follow rarity and alphabetical order. Follow this list:

• 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

• Half-Life Alyx: Lambda > Combine Helmet > CMB > City 17 > Black Mesa > Health > Headcrab Glyph > Copper Lambda > Vortigaunt > Sustenance! > Civil Protection > Alyx

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)

Chronological: Missing Link > Small Arms

Small Arms: Stitch-Loaded > Glamour Shot > Lil' Cap Gun > Hot Hands > Backsplash > Disco MAC > Baby's AK > Die-cast AK > POP Art > Lil' Squirt > Pocket AWP > Titeenium AWP > Whittle Knife > Baby Karat CT > Semi-Precious > Baby Karat T

Everything that changes a model is a "General skin". We have:

• Agents
  
• Weapon Skins
  
• Knives
  
• Gloves

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.

Weapon skins have many peculiarities. I will list below the steps you need to take:

• 1 - Start by ordering like in the loadout *
  
• 2 - Decide which type of ordering you like the most
  
• 3 - Pay attention to the small details

• Zeus
  
• Glock
  
• USP-S OR P2000
  
• P2000 OR USP-S
  
• Dual Berettas
  
• P250
  
• CZ75-Auto
  
• Tec-9
  
• Five-SeveN
  
• R8 OR Deagle
  
• Deagle OR R8
  
• Nova
  
• XM1014
  
• Sawed-Off
  
• MAG-7
  
• M249
  
• Negev
  
• Mac-10
  
• MP9
  
• MP7
  
• MP5-SD
  
• UMP-45
  
• P90
  
• Bizon
  
• Galil
  
• Famas
  
• AK-47
  
• M4A1-S OR M4A4
  
• M4A4 OR M4A1-S
  
• Scout
  
• SG 553
  
• Aug
  
• AWP
  
• 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?

* Alternatively you can start by color coding and then order by loadout. (See Jab's Inventory). My option is just, IMO, the best one for easily seeing all skins one has for a particular weapon.

I believe that what makes more sense is to follow what we have in our loadout and in our buy menu. The list is present in the section above.
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 organic 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 skins, use the most dominant/saturated color to decide the skin's placing
  
• Patterns! A blue Case Hardened should be placed as a blue skin instead of it's gray icon.

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

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.

What about nametagged 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

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

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

• 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

• 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 knive collections.

"One man's trash is another man's treasure", famous quote that, in CSGO, you can be both man!
You have some options to deal with trash - But follow each kind of Trash tips instead:

• Market it
  
• Storage unit it
  
• Trade it to alt 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 instances, 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. As such, 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 deleting them.

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.
