Here's an example of how I'm doing the indexing. There's multiple lines for one DAZ item because a sort on the third column, Category, will put all the hairs together, all the poses together, etc.

For the curious, the last column is Yes or No if there is a texture. Additional columns, not shown, are for image usage restrictions: None (commercial or personal use allowed), Unstated (has a readme, but doesn't specifically identify usage), no readme, or personal use only; Disk # (so I can find it); and notes if there's something worth saying about the item that's not evident in the thumbnail. There are some things I'd already do differently since I indexed this item last year. Clothing textures should be moved to the clothing item; same with hair and hair textures. The index keeps evolving as it gets bigger. New subcategories get created when there's too many items in it. At least it's providing me a lot of utility.
