One of the reasons I'd often use it is to check for offers on PS4 games - At the moment it shows one screen of all of the results applicable search results. If you carry out the same search on argos.ie you can see around 14 further pages of search results...... Also you can't click on the price to rank in order. So at the moment its mistakenly showing that the cheapest available PS4 item on Argos is €51.99... In reality theres ~230 further PS4 related items not being shown in descending order of price right down to €4.99..... If I was Argos Management I wouldn't be happy with this as they could potentially lose sales due to only a fraction of their actual stock being shown as available for sale.....

Its seems a shame to have it fully functioning (I think!) and it not to be used.Its way too alpha for public release but if some people want to PM me I'll send them a link to it. Thanks to black_knight as well for some help starting off. Thanks

For clearance, the items are ordered by price low to high (and this mostly works, we have seen some bugs with this, but they are actually on the Argos side). Argos unfortunately don't have the option to sort by percentage saving The sort on the site only sorts the items that are visible on the screen. So as you correctly pointed out it doesnt include the results on the second page when sorting. We only load the next number of items when you click page 2. The old site didn't have this problem because it fetched everything before showing anything, but it had different problems: it was slow and it timed out if your search was too big. Leave it with us and we will re-visit this, I think its pretty obvious the clearance section needs a little bit of work! I know we can come up with something that works better than the current one.

So it seems that there is no sorting being done.. If you then click on the '% Saving' heading, it will sort that page only. This leaves you with Page 1 - some items with 90% saving and some with 0% saving Page 2 - some items with 75% saving and some with 0% saving and so on. It would be nice if they were automatically sorted so that all of the best savings appear on Page 1.
Multiple posts on removing items for the list
