I'm confused by something and I'm hoping someone can shed some light.

 

I've been trying to sell some WRM for several days now unsuccessfully. I would assume that the sort of the results would be based on when someone posts the offer. For example, if I post a chunk of materials for sale at $0.05cc on Monday, someone who posts a chunk on Tuesday at the same price will logically appear below me in the list when sorted by ascending price. Am I right in that assumption? Now, assuming I do not add any additional resources to my original offer, my posting should eventually move to the top of the list of offers.

 

In the past couple days, my offer has been as high as the first page and as low as in the teens. I also noticed that I can scroll through the pages and not see my offer at all, and then return to page 1 and suddenly see it there. So I started refreshing the page to see what would happen. The order appears to be constantly changing, but the quantities aren't changing. In 10 refreshes, I can see a completely different list of offers at least 3-4 times. 

 

To give an example, on my first view, I see Players A, B, C, D. On a refresh, I see Players E, F, G, H (completely different players). After another refresh I see Players I, J, K, L. Notice how the results are showing completely different players? If I refresh again, I might see any of these sort orders again OR I might see a completely different list. And it's not because Players A, B, C, D all sold their stock, because when I refresh and see those offers again, the quantities are the same. Also, I am not counting the offers that appear at the top of the list due to random $0.04 cc offers.

 

Try it for yourselves and let me know if this seems odd. I'm not sure if this is a bug or if there is some hidden sort criteria that applies randomly. Whatever it is, it's making it awfully hard to sell stuff without lowering the price, and I'm getting low on storage space.
