Orientdig Spreadsheet Categories

The category is the first filter because every product type asks different questions of photos, sizing, details and weight.

Choose one lane

Begin with the category that matches your actual need, compare a small group of similar rows, then use the card notes below to decide which evidence matters before opening external pages.

Change the checklist when the category changes

Shoes and sneakers need fit, sole and side-profile evidence. Hoodies, T-shirts, jackets and pants need measurements, fabric context and construction photos.

Bags, watches, jewelry and accessories need clear scale and close-up details. Electronics add compatibility and included-parts questions. A category narrows the comparison; it does not prove that a product is suitable.

Do not use one checklist for every product

A useful shoe row shows fit and profile details; a clothing row needs measurements and material context. Bags should include dimensions, while watches, jewelry and small accessories need sharp close-ups and a sense of scale.

Electronics require compatibility details. Jerseys and other clothing remain difficult to compare until the exact item type and measurements are clear. Whatever the category, check the source, photos, sizing and likely weight.

Why categories matter

A spreadsheet can place a T-shirt beside a watch and make them look equally comparable. They are not. Apparel needs measurements; footwear needs shape and sizing; bags need dimensions and hardware views. Separating them produces better questions.

Footwear

Shoes

Check side profile, toe shape, sole, stitching, size guidance and weight. Compare similar footwear, not a random mix.

Footwear

Sneakers

Use multiple angles and close-ups. Note whether the sizing advice is item-specific or only generic.

Carry

Bags

Look for dimensions, interior photos, closure details, strap length and material context.

Apparel

Hoodies

Chest and length measurements are more useful than a size letter. Inspect fabric, seams, print and hood shape.

Shirts

Compare shoulder, chest and length data. Check collar, buttons, hems and fabric appearance.

Outer layers

Jackets

Inspect front, back and lining. Outer layers often add packaging volume, so weight deserves early attention.

Apparel

Pants

Waist, rise and inseam should line up with the stated size. Look closely at pockets, seams and fabric.

Watches

Dial, case, clasp and side views should be legible. Treat timekeeping and material claims as unverified unless supported.

Jewelry

Ask for dimensions, clasp views and clear surface close-ups. A polished image alone gives little scale context.

Mixed items

Accessories

Confirm what is included and how large it is. Check that the linked page describes the same item.

Devices

Electronics

Compatibility, voltage, included parts and battery restrictions may matter. Use official support for operational claims.

Which category should you start with?

Start with the item you would still want after the platform label disappears. If the need is “a warm layer,” compare hoodies and jackets. If it is “a daily carry,” compare bags by dimensions and structure.

A category is useful only when it changes the evidence you request. Define the angles, measurements, material details and weight questions before opening the external directory.

Mistakes to avoid

Do not let category labels become shortcuts for evidence.

  • Do not assume two items share sizing because they share a category.
  • Do not compare a single low price against unrelated products.
  • Do not treat a category page as seller or product verification.
  • Do not open every result before deciding what you need to check.
  • Do not ignore weight for bulky footwear, outerwear or bags.

Before opening an external page

Know the category, the detail photos you need, the measurements that matter, and the reason this row is in your shortlist.
