Land Sales Search is really broken

It is no longer possible to sort Land Sales search results by Parcel Name, total parcel price, or area. Steps to reproduce:

1. Click Search and open the Land Sales tab.
2. Select "For Sale - Mainland" and "PG & Mature." Uncheck the Price box and check the Area box, entering 2048, and then click Search. (Note, these settings probably don't really matter, but they're what I was using when I discovered the problem.) The search should complete normally, presenting results sorted by L$/square meter, which is generally useless because the first page is usually full of huge plots that are way bigger than you were searching for.
3. Click "L$ Price" at the top of the search results. The search will report "None found."
4. Try clicking Name or Area. Same thing. Then click the "L$/sq.m" button. The search results will re-appear.
5. Try clicking any of the other buttons again. You'll get locked out of searches because SL thinks you're a landbot.

This makes it tough to compare equally sized plots or to locate parcels listed in the same sim. I will not be selling or buying any land until this is fixed. I don't know how long this has been broken, but I expect it began with the update.

One thing's for sure, it was a major factor in my decision to downgrade (at least for now) from premium to a free membership. I dodged a bullet on April 30th when someone asked about my land, and then decided to buy it (which relieved me of the May tier I would have had to pay). I also think that this bug could be driving land prices down.

I think that any bug that could cost people RL money should be the main focus.

Answering my own question

Yep, it's still broken. You can sort Auctions okay, but if you have Mainland selected, attempting to sort by anything other than L$ per square meter, you still get "None."

This is a reported bug...
