Feature Request: Sort by price?

[Jason-Terry]

Would be awesome to see sort by price ascending / descending for us habitual browsers.

Hello, this has already been requested, but I'm not sure how to proceed...

Results takes into account search score (how close it matches your request) and popularity (using the reviews). If I added a feature to sort by price, you might get results really far from your request, defeating the purpose of the search engine.

Maybe you could use the price range filter instead?

What would be your use case? Maybe I can find a better solution for what you're looking to achieve...

Ayo! Came here for 2nd time for that. It is not about the Searching so much to me, but just for the listing/browsing the market.

If you want to allow this for the Searching, probably you can low-res the word matching weights and then sort by price. Just a quick idea.

Please consider adding strict keyword contained in title for searching then you can have the price sorting as well. For example i search for 'flare' looking for some lens flares or stuff to add to rockets to make their engine glow and it brings up audio assets which doesn't help. Edit: make the search i described to be case insensitive (or just checkbox it as an option for other users)

[hugoattal]

@vlader08 You can remove audio assets by checking the "FX" categories (and then only have FX assets)

Also, if you want to remove some kind of flares (like "retro" flares for whatever reason), you can search this: lens flare -retro

Lastly, the search is already case insensitive

---

About the title: title already contain a heavier weight than the content, but some flares might not have the name "Flare" in the title (for example, I found the asset "Realistif Starter VFX Pack" which contains flares)

About the price: once again, it's not really possible to sort by price without removing the "smart" sort and have a useless search output.

@hugoattal much appreciated for the reply and the awesome content you've made. I'm ok with dumbing down the search if it can bring the price sorting, and thus have a compromise of both. Also yeah, I've just found the Categories filter, nice and handy feature. If this is again not possible due to things I might not understand by the smart lookup, it is what it is, still an awesome portal and I'm grateful for it, incredible fast compared to the native Epic one.

Thanks a lot ❤️

Guess I'll add the pricing sort you guys all ask for in the next version, but I'm confident it'll be pretty useless 😕 (though, there's already a name sorting which is a lot more useless)

[hugoattal]

@vlader08 Thanks a lot for your sponsoring ❤️! The price sorting is now available 😉

[vlader08]

@hugoattal You're more than welcome, I own the electronic nodes and probably will get the darker nodes as well :P Just tested the price sorting and it does sort just fine for my needs, the extra filter of categories helps to keep it on track.

You can always check on how much this feature is used I suppose. To me, it looks useful.
