Sometimes when browsing the PH Classifieds I set the results to sort by 'Price (Lo-Hi)' and then click 'Refresh', but the prices are still in a completely random order when the results have re-loaded. Is there an intermittent glitch and are the 'powers-that-be' aware of it? It's not a major issue for me 'cause there are never many of the types of car I'm interested in, but I wondered if the relevant folks were aware.

The only thing I can think of that causes this problem is that the category mixes Premium and Basic adverts and thus the Premium adverts are in price order, then the order starts again for the Basic adverts.

If this isn't the case then if possible can you tell us the category you are looking at and I will have a look myself. smile

I find that if you set hi-lo or lo-hi it has it sepertated in the middle , so you get halway and it will start at low and get high or likewise, every strange!

That is due to Premium adverts having precedence over Basic adverts, thus they will always appear afterwards and make it look like it all starts again.
