I'm sure it's me, but the classified sorting is squiffy

OK. Must be something I'm doing. Choose Toyota, Hilux. Select the order by price lo to hi and refresh. It only orders the contents of the current page (at the moment 500 - 12,500 on page 1) and when you select the next page you're back starting way less than 12,500. Then select Land Rover, Range Rover. Select the order by price lo to hi and refresh and it orders all 215 cars correctly. I'm off for a lie-down smile

Good forum name smile

In the words of Microsoft... "It is by design"

What is happening is the Premium Adverts and Dealer Adverts are ordered first, regardless of any other ordering. So you will get these adverts ordered Low -> High before seeing the rest of the private adverts. It just so happens that Toyota Hilux has 15 Premium and Dealer Adverts the exact same amount as shown on a page. So when you click next you get the start of the rest of the private adverts from Low -> High. This is the same through all the categories just that you get a nice divider across the page saying "Standard Adverts".

Hope that helps clear things up.

Maybe it's worth having a banner or some delimiter to show where the private ads begin because this question is often popping up...

We added one a little while ago, but it doesn't appear when the division between premium and standard lands exactly between two pages.

For an example of the banner, see here near the bottom: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/list.asp?s=108

This is already in place, just if the standard adverts start at the top of the page it doesn't show which we will fix.
