Besides how dismally stupid that would be (on their part - they're a big grown-up company), the values are probably stored as FP, and should sort properly. Most of the orderimg seems to fit that scenario.

I attribute it to marketing and "sponsored product". For pricing, before the sort request, I could fully understand them allowing people to buy their way to the top. They are not, after all, a charity.

It's like stuff piled up at the end-caps of isles in stores - to entice you into buying something. However, once I walk down the pasta isle I don't want to find motor oil between linguini and rotini.

I guess the question is really "Do marketing people every consider how they'd like things to be when they shop?"   What if the answer to that is yes and this is what we get?
