I have a few questions regarding shops and shopkeepers in Adventure mode.

1.  What is that symbol that looks like an inverted L, next to a number?

2.  How do I determine the value of an item?

3.  Do coins have any actual use?
    3a.  If so, how does that function?

4.  Is there any way to have the trade screen sort alphabetically or something?
    4a.  If so, how?

1) Weight.
2) Can't.
3) Throwing and buying.
   3a. A bunch of hotkeys to show that you're buying it with money and not items.  or (t)hrowing.
4) Not to my knowledge.

1.  That's the weight.  I'm not sure how it translates into real world units.

2.  Guesswork and experience, mostly.

3.  Yes, you can use currency to buy things in the civ the coins come from.  The process for buying things with coins is terrible and byzantine, and I can't document it from memory.

4.  No, not that I know of.

Ok, thanks a bunch for your answers.

The hotkeys are at the bottom of the screen in the buy/sell UI, if I recall.

[nirodragon]

They are, though every hotkey for the money part is clustered in one long line.  I don't know what to hit to add or subtract 1 coin, for example.

Ah, whatever.  I'm just going to use the barter system for now, trade items for items.
