- Sorting answers "how should I organize this information?"
- Provide useful defaults:
- Most relevant.
- Recent.
- Popular.
- Recommended.
- Make direction clear:
- Preserve user choices:
- Remember sorting when returning.
- Avoid meaningless options:
- Every sort option should support a decision.
- Sorting should reveal information, not create more work.
