In response to the request to be able to search by price, I've implemented a sort facility within each category allowing you to sort by price or age of advert. Just click on the link at the top of the column.

There are a few discrepencies as the enforcement of the price field being a number will take time to filter through.

A full search facility across categories will come in due course.

Can't understand why you can't see it Pies.

Just realised it's still a bit cack as I need to convert all the prices into numbers as it's sorting alphabetically really...

Ted,

Not sure this is working totally correctly.

A lot of the prices seem to have two pound signs (££).

Also, as an example, in the Caterham section, sorting by price descending I get the first few results as follows:

9995
9950
9750
9000
275
19000
18000

Sort by age works though!

Cheers
SB

Yep, the problem is in the transition of the price from being a textual item into being numeric. Not until the bulk of the adverts have been entered with numbers will it work properly (or I can knock together a conversion routine).

Ted, there is a similar issue in the Cerbera list:

When sorting by price, in five pages, page three looks as follows:

£19,250
£18,500
£18,500
£16,999
£Sold
£Highest offer secures
£49,935
£46,995
£33,995
£29,995

Not only that they are still too expensive , it looks like the list is divided into two descending lists on page three by the prices with alphabetic characters
16,999 is the lowest price of the first list (the highest is on page one); 49,935 is the highest price of the second part; with the lowest on page five.
