    πŸ™‡ (client) Bug: Search result page default sorts by "Name" rather than "Item"

    πŸ‘¦ (me) Response: No repro. Do same search, see sort by "Item"

    πŸ™‡ Seriously, it's happening. Steps to repro are X, Y Z

    πŸ‘¦ Still no repro. QA, you repro?

    πŸ‘§ No repro. Dev, you repro?

    πŸ‘¨ Yes, it finally repros, but I don't know why.

    πŸ‘¦ Let me see the code. ... Well furk.

    • Search, "sort by" control defaults to first in drop down list. Item. Correct.
    • Go to a Category page. It also has a "sort by" drop down, that defaults to whatever the website's default is
    • Customization encountered some Categories have a property that allows them to override the "sort by" to be something else.
    • Dumbness encountered a dev through this would be a brillant thing to store in a session variable, rather than in the page's view state.
    • Customization encountered the "sort by" control gets re-used on the search page

    So the process is normally:

    • Load a category
    • If it has that property, set a session variable
    • The Sort By control loads, and checks if the session variable is set
    • If yes, use that value. If no, use website default

    OR as the client reprod by going to a specific category, then doing a search

    • Load a category
    • Set the session variable
    • The Sort By control checks that session variable
    • Do a search
    • Load a cateogryNope
    • Set the session variableNope
    • The Sort By control checks the session variable, and now sets it to the default sort of the last category viewed with a special sort type.

    I don't know what any of this has to do with ponies, but it's related to QA, and it made for an annoying Friday.
