Well yeah, otherwise what's the point? These are frozen and stackable;
this is cold and upright so it can sit next to them; these are light,
stackable and refrigerated so they can sit on the others. These are thin
and cool and can slot down the sides, these are non-cool, light, and
stackable so they sit on the top or in another bag on top of the non-cool
heavy stackables. These are squishable so go on the top of any bag unless
they're also heavy in which case they get the side of the bag if possible
or are paired with the very light. It hardly takes an effort to sort this
way.

Yes, but light doesn't equate to non-rigid. Compared to some items bread
is heavy, but I wouldn't put it at the bottom of the bag unless the total
weight of the items above it was very light.

Unfortunately I'm in the Two Nerd section even when on my own.
