It saves it as well which is evil evil evil.
They'll never see the great content that people are building! Why not just have a sort order that doesn't save? This will just either create a race to the bottom or people will game it. In either case, it's not going to help anyone for anything. _____________________

Try to stop thinking with your greed for just one moment and consider that people might actually have no interest in anything super-expensive. Someone that's gone to the trouble to search in a specific way once is more likely to repeat that same search later than they are to want an unrestricted search, so it makes perfect sense to save the last search filter settings.

(sigh) How are people supposed to get excited about SL if all they see are 50 L$ doodads that do nothing for no-one? They'll think SL is just a load of amateur content. I can understand that some people might want to sort by low value items first. That would be a lot more useful. That way they know stuff at the top of the page is cheaper than stuff at the bottom of the page. Simply searching on everything under 500 L$ is not very useful, because you have to click on everything to find out how much it is. We should be encouraging innovation and not a race to the bottom. SLBoutique does this nicely by ordering on new products. I find it annoying and prefer the default sort on SLExchange, but I have to admit, it does encourage you to come out with new products. What SL needs is not a load of cutesie little things. That's not going to bring in the crowds. It needs things like Tringo, which are compelling, well thought out, and are attributed a sense of value. People need to show their friends and say - hey, check this out? Isn't this cool! No one is going to do that with 50 L$ fluttering butterflies. _____________________
