Sorting Search Results

TorontoMLS displays the listings found by your search in a simple one line format.

The objective of a multi-level sort is to group listings logically. An example of good sorting structure for a listings search is: first sort by District, then by Type, then List Price. Your search results are organized in a few large groups (by District). A poor example of multi-level sorting is: first sort by List Price, then by Type, then District. Although List Price may be the highest priority to the buyer, the organization of your search results list using price as the first sort field, results in almost as many groups as there are listings.
