Verifying Sort Order

Read, Copy, Sort, Compare

To test "Price: Low to High", read all prices from the page into a list, make a sorted copy, and compare. If they are equal, the page sorted correctly.

new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("sort"))).selectByValue("price-asc");
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.urlContains("sort=price-asc"));
List<Integer> shown = driver.findElements(By.cssSelector(".product-card .price")).stream()
        .map(e -> Integer.parseInt(e.getText().replaceAll("[^0-9]", "")))
        .toList();

The Check

Example

The comparison part runs here with prices as the page would show them:

import java.util.*;

public class Main {
    static List<Integer> parse(List<String> texts) {
        List<Integer> out = new ArrayList<>();
        for (String t : texts) out.add(Integer.parseInt(t.replaceAll("[^0-9]", "")));
        return out;
    }

    static void checkAscending(String name, List<String> texts) {
        List<Integer> shown = parse(texts);
        List<Integer> expected = new ArrayList<>(shown);
        Collections.sort(expected);
        System.out.println(name + ": " + (shown.equals(expected) ? "PASS" : "FAIL expected " + expected + " but was " + shown));
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        checkAscending("Shoes", List.of("₹499", "₹1,299", "₹1,999", "₹2,450"));
        checkAscending("Bags",  List.of("₹699", "₹599", "₹1,099"));

        List<String> names = List.of("Adidas Duramo", "Nike Revolution", "puma Velocity");
        List<String> sortedNames = new ArrayList<>(names);
        sortedNames.sort(String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER);
        System.out.println("Names A-Z: " + (names.equals(sortedNames) ? "PASS" : "FAIL"));
    }
}

Output

Shoes: PASS
Bags: FAIL expected [599, 699, 1099] but was [699, 599, 1099]
Names A-Z: PASS

Tip: Sort by price as numbers, not strings: as text, "₹999" comes after "₹1,299".
