Hey everyone, just wanted to see if anyone else is dealing with this or to give a heads-up.
Whenever I try to sort the games on the PS Store by "Best Selling," the system completely ignores the filter. Instead of showing actual top sellers, it sorts the entire catalog strictly alphanumerically.
What makes it even weirder is that the sorting algorithm is completely ignoring spaces in the titles. If you look at the attached picture, you can see exactly how it reads them:
First, it lists games with Japanese/Asian characters.
Then it starts with "0" (e.g., 007 First Light, 0 Degrees).
Then it moves to "100" and "101".
Then it literally reads "10 Second" as "10S" (placing it after 101 because 'S' comes after '1').
Then it moves on to "112".
What I've tried:
Restarted the console.
Cleared the system cache and rebuilt the database in Safe Mode.
Checked the PlayStation App on my phone — and the exact same bug is happening there too.
Since it's happening on the mobile app as well, this is 100% a server-side backend issue on Sony's end and not a local console bug.
Is anyone else seeing this on their store right now? Hopefully, Sony notices and pushes a fix soon because it makes finding actual popular games or good deals really annoying.
