Adding Price Sorting to autoFilter Product Listings

A filter interface becomes much more useful once users can change the sort order without losing the filter they already set.

Filtering and sorting are separate concerns, but users expect them to work together. If autoFilter narrows the result set, the next step is usually to let the visitor reorder that filtered set by price or name.

What the implementation should preserve

the current filter state
the chosen sort direction
a predictable request format for both filtering and sorting

The cleanest approach is to treat sort order as part of the same request state as the filters, not as a separate unrelated widget.
