SEARCH RESULTS CUT IN HALF OR MORE WHEN CLICK ON PRICE AND SHIPPING LOWEST First
WHEN I SEARCH FOR ANYTHING THE RESULTS ARE CUT IN HALF OR MORE WHEN I CLICK ON PRICE AND SHIPPING LOWEST First. EXAMPLE, SEARCH RESULTS 1200 ITEMS BEST MATCH THEN I CLICK PRICE AND SHIPPING LOWEST First THEN THE RESULTS GO DOWN TO 190 OR SOMETHING. WHAT IS CAUSING THIS? VERY AGGRAVATING
