Digikey search feature added

[JW]

Finally, Digikey added a sort by price feature.

What took them so long?

Yeah, but my experience with Digikey, is they list a heck of a lot of items on their internet sites, that they no longer stock.
It irritates me everytime they do that.

Mouser had it for a while but Digikey leapfrogged them - by allowing a
sort that is based on the quantity price break.

Often the cheapest part in singles is not the cheapest price at
quantity 100.

I always search on reels. If I'm not buying a reel I generally don't care
about the cost. ;-) Actually, I don't buy even a reel, just use it as a
price guideline (after a .5 to .7 multiplier, depending on what it is).
