    WIND Website - Phone List "Latest" sort feature

    I know it's kind of nutty that I even care but help me understand why WIND doesn't fix their stupid website.

    When browsing their phone selection if you try and sort the list by using the "Latest" button it doesn't sort the phone by the latest in any way.

    I have pointed this out to WIND via email a couple times now and they respond with stupid suggestions on how to use the other features to find the phone I am looking for, seemingly ignoring the actual issue.

    I am concerned that people who don't know anything about cell phones/carriers/etc may browse WIND's site and thinking the "Latest" feature works may quickly think WIND has nothing to offer and off they go to a competitors site.

    If they don't want to fix the feature on their website then they should remove it... Am I weird for caring?

    haha I wondered when no one responded that the prevailing opinion must have been who cares that guy's weird.

    Lol thanks for responding... I just find it strangely mind boggling that they wouldn't fix such a simple issue... I mean they are probably paying someone to maintain their website, MAKE them fix it....

    Well I don't mean to bring this thread back to the top but I have to correct myself...

    It isn't the "Latest" button on the phone list on WIND's site but the "Newest" that doesn't work. Same idea just worded differently...

    I know I know, still weird for caring... I still hope some people dont' actually think the results are indicative of WIND's "Newest" offerings.

    Sorting by price appears to sort by release price not including tab or tab+.

    Sorting by newest (oldest-newest) actually works up to the bold 9790 on page 4. I assume the last couple items are missing relevant release dates in the database so they're automatically sorted to the end.

    Sorting by brand half works which doesn't make sense to me since brand would be the easiest to get right.

    All 3 of the sorting systems seem wonky. It seems the programmers half ***** some parts of the database in order to get the lists to sort a certain way or left out data entirely. i.e. having the sim card display at the end, except it doesn't always display at the end depending on the sort method. Not that big of a deal for a small wireless provider like Wind. All the phones are displayed, just sorted oddly.

    Unrelated but what I find funny is website design companies who have mysql, php or even simple java errors on their websites. Would you trust a company to create and maintain your website if they can't even run their own properly.
    When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.
