I've had "sortenrein" a couple of times today and am running out of ways to deal with it. Any ideas, guys? :-)

single-article / single-line


Explanation:
That's what Benz/Wessel suggest for sortenrein.

Sortenlager (which might come in handy) = single-line store (we'd use warehouse in the US)
sortengruppiert = arranged by article
