Missing - Display Order

[smtetz]

I'm a car collector. I search and buy using eBay motors on a daily basis for classic cars. I used to be able to organize the search results by oldest car to newest car. (Order by age/year)

Why did you remove this feature???

I search for broad ranges of years. (Ex: cars 1950s and older) Now the only option is to open the "model year" and click off boxes one by one every single time I run a search of different makes. This is incredibly inefficient and horrible for searching. Why do you want your search site to be a bad experience for users?

To top it off, If there are no listings for a car in certain years then I cant even set up a saved search. Horrible to remove a much needed feature especially since there's no other way to accomplish the same search results.

BRING THIS BACK ASAP PLEASE.

There is a "Find a Car or Truck" tool on this page:

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=cars&_sacat=0

Using that, you should be able to enter a range of years, with or without any other info, and set up a search. Even if there are no current listings for those years you should be able to save a search for the entire range of years.

You can bookmark that link, or find the page again by searching for cars.

I do not see a way to sort the results by model year, though.

When you post here, you are not addressing eBay or its employees.

These Boards are composed of fellow eBayers, both buyers and sellers, who volunteer their time here to help others if they can.

As such, we're not able to make any changes in the way listings or searches are handled.

Try this and see if it works for you to sort by year.

Search for cars in your date range. Change the sort order to "Best Match". In the page address shown in your browser's address bar, somewhere, possibly at the end of the URL, you should see a parameter that looks like this:

&_sop=12

 That is the parameter that controls the sort order. Use your cursor to highlight that 12 and change it to 22 instead, and then hit the "enter" key to load that page.

When I do that, it appears to sort the vehicles by year, starting oldest first.

If you want to see newest year first, change that number to 23.

Then bookmark or save your search so you do not need to edit the page address to see that sort.
