Sort search results #10

Open Guitarhub786 opened 3 years ago

User Story Description As an End User. I want to be able to sort search results according to how old or new the book is, alphabetically and according to price. So I can make sure I am not buying and out of date book when a newer one is available. Find my book quicker and for the best price.

Steps to Follow (optional)

[ ] Consider which sorting options to implement such as sorting by title, author
[ ] Additional steps as necessary

Additional Considerations

Sorting is not an option in the API, so sorting will be a client-side operation. Review the API to validate if this could be done as part of search vs. manipulating the results.

sorting with google book api might help:

I wanted to add sort with highest/lowers rating reviews stars but did not add it and let team decide. Here are the pros and cons.

Pros:

People can see what is the most popular/quality book without having to click on it to see what Google rating are.
Good feature making a fuller app in an all in one place for better user experience.

Cons:

What good is the user experience if the information is not accurate compared to other sites example Amazon. "Eloquent Javascript" - Google 2 reviews x 3.5 stars vs Amazon 452 reviews x 4.5 stars "Mary Berry Cooks" - Google 0 reviews x 0 stars vs Amazon 1,401 reviews x 4.5 stars
Extra work/complications integrating Amazon API into the project.

wow that's really interesting analysis @Guitarhub786 - From what I know if a feature doesn't actually add value, if you can prove that it doesn't, then it isn't worth adding but it's also important the pick the right sample number for your research & analysis before coming to a conclusion :)
