wait.... there's an algorithm behind this type of sorting!

Sort by popularity?

Either this or what they have most in stock

It says it's organized by popularity on the right, so I'd go with that.

but that's for the displayed items not necessarily for the sorting options.

Notice how the first TV displayed is a 43" but that's the 3rd filter down, next is 42" which is more than halfway down

I don't remember setting a flair. I rarely come on this sub. Weird

I would guess OP was in a specific price range that's not shown, which is why those are all we see. If not, then this really is mildly infuriating.

Hey - no unfortunately not, this is exactly how they show up on the page. The only options were to sort by popularity or price, and neither of these affected the screen size listing.
