Sort criteria/ Comparison data. easy as fuck on a small store.
A store that sells everything? Category for everything? compared to … everything? sold by…. everyone?
You can provide tools but you cannot force users to use them all the time, this leads to many inconsistencies.

That may be true, but amazon deliberately made theirs worse a few years ago, they replaced the “most popular” sort option with a “featured” option, that seems generally useless, and puts their own and sponsored products first.

Yes i remember that, i’ve forgotten over the years but was annoyed by that as well.
Looks like there is some browser extensions that will do it, but have not tried myself

My biggest complaint with AliExpress and Amazon is that their search engines are absolutely terrible.

I actually like eBay's search engine.
