Hey everyone, thanks for the feedback! We know you want this feature back, and we hope we can bring it back some day too. The site update at the time gives some background on why it was removed:

Quote
I have just deployed some user shops speed improvements. Most of the changes are behind-the-scenes: a lot of code has been shuffled and reworked in the hopes of making it a little more efficient, and reduce the rate of failure loading very full shops.</p>
<p>There is one change you may notice: the option to sort by price (when editing shop items) is no longer available. Instead, we&;ve replaced it with a &quot;View unpriced items&quot; button which you can use to view all unpriced items in your shop. This is because, due to the way it worked, a full price sort was causing a lot of lag, and I had to reshuffle the code in a way that no longer allowed for it in order to mitigate the lag.</p>
<p>We have further updates planned for user shops that are aimed at further speed increases and improved functionality. I am also thinking about how I can bring back that price sort. These are involved changes though and some will require scheduled downtime. Again, I&;ll continue to keep you in the loop.

I hope this sheds some light on what's going on there. We care about quality-of-life and we certainly didn't want to make things more inconvenient without a good reason, it's just that unfortunately there was a good reason it was necessary here. The "view unpriced items" button was added shortly after that to try and make up for the lost quality-of-life from having to remove the price sort, since a lot of people used it for that.

I know it's not the same, but if you're just looking for the more expensive items, you could try to filter by price > 1,000,000 sP (or whatever threshold makes sense). They wouldn't be listed in order of price, but you'd at least be able to see all items above a certain price that way without having to resort to a notepad D:

Sounds like something for the suggestions forum? Most things are possible. It's much harder to predict how simple or complex they are and how much of our resources they would take, and it's especially difficult to determine how they should be prioritized in our schedule. I encourage you to make a suggestion topic on it; I can see how such a feature would be useful and it's something that warrants more thought/discussion. But not to lead you on - we do honestly have our hands quite full at the moment and need to keep prioritizing things like the wardrobe and site stability, so it's unlikely we'd get to it soon.
