I there a way to break it up the list? Some form of categories, perhaps?
For instance, if a bookstore just put books in one big pile on the
floor, they would never sell anything because they wouldn't be able to find
it. Typically they are categorized (Fiction, non-fiction at the most basic
level, then other categories.. fiction is general fiction, mystery sci-fi..
non-fiction is health, self-help.., then by author's last name underneath
that).
Other businesses have similar forms of categorization. Just an idea. I
imagine that if the client has that much inventory it must already be
categorized in some way.
