The "Price, low to high" and "Price, high to low" sort options are invisible and merge with white background of the "Sort by" drop down list on the search results page after opening "Sort by" drop down list. The sort option becomes visible only after hovering mouse over relevant sort option on the "Sort by" drop down list on the search results page.

Useful tooltips:
Use a checklist in manual testing
A checklist in manual testing is a structured list of items or tasks that testers need to verify to ensure comprehensive testing of a software application.
You can create your own checklists and use them when testing sites. Add your favorite bugs and use them in the following test cycles.
An online Excel sheet can be effectively used as a checklist, allowing testers to add and update test items and bugs easily. You can add various columns such as feature, severity, device etc.
Learning the correct names of elements:
Breadcrumbs: A navigational aid that displays the user's path within a website, helping them understand their current location and easily backtrack.
Filter Options (e.g., by price, brand, rating): Tools that allow users to narrow down search results based on specific criteria, such as price, category, or rating.
Sorting Options (e.g., by relevance, price, popularity): Features that enable users to order search results according to various parameters like price, popularity, or newest arrivals.
Pagination: A method for dividing content into separate pages, improving load times and making navigation through large datasets more manageable.
Product Tiles: Visual elements that represent individual products, typically including an image, title, price, and a brief description or key details.
Common mistakes:
Sorting and filtering are often confused by testers, but they serve distinct purposes. Sorting arranges data in a specific order based on selected criteria, such as price, date, or alphabetical order. For example, sorting a product list by price will display items from lowest to highest cost.
On the other hand, filtering narrows down the data set by applying specific conditions or criteria, such as showing only products within a certain price range or from a particular brand. Filtering reduces the number of items displayed to match the user's preferences, whereas sorting organizes the entire data set in a chosen sequence without reducing the number of items.
