Does anyone on this forum understand the search order functions ?
The links I gave clearly demonstrate an issue.
------------------
Hi I have a strange problem that I am struggling to resolve. Hopefully someone can help me.
The site is VM 4.0.12 10777
Joomla 3.10.11
PHP 7.4.33
The problem seems to stem from how I link searched from the slideshows.
If I link this way
https://www.nsoffice.com.au/index.php/shop-menu/brands/keyword/yankee/view/category/virtuemart_category_id/0/search/true/start/0
And then change the default sort order from name to say price. - it works. I get the same items in price order. Note this link as a search item name - Yankee
If I link this way.
https://www.nsoffice.com.au/index.php/component/virtuemart/
view/category/virtuemart_category_id/564
this is a link to all the items in that category 564.
If you then change the sort order to price it fails !
Because it is now searching for the word "orderby"
My question is why ? There is no "orderby' in the link
And I am not sure when this started
Any help appreciated
ps I cannot update t0 Joomla 4.x yet as I have plugin compatibility issues

Have you checked if this issue occurs when you use Protostar?
Console shows JavaScript errors:
TypeError: a.default.detectStore(...) is undefined h1-check.js:1:1301
TypeError: "addEventListener" is read-only bundle.js:1:7801
You don't appear to have any "shop" menu-- VM needs a base menu ( visible or hidden ) to the Root category
e.g. a menu named Shop -> index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=0
so a VM category menu to the top level cat
then at least you get get nice urls like https://www.nsoffice.com.au/index.php/shop/cleaning-products and may solve the orderby problem
enable your .htaccess and you'll get rind of the index.php
