The people have spoken

One of the ways we Nestorians work to improve the way the site works is by conducting 'bucket tests' (or A/B tests) to see if users like their Nestoria tweaked one way or another. 

One of the recent tests involved how people like to control the order their search results appear in.  In order to find out what people like best we presented two different versions of Nestoria in which everything but the sorting panel was identical, then watched what people did.  Turns out people prefer to sort using a drop down menu – and we could see their point: it does look neat and out of the way.  So we went with the people's choice, which is what you can now see on the site.

The standard is order is Nestoria Rank, which is an algorithmic recipe that takes into account the quality of the information provided to us by our portal partners, but you can now use the drop down menu to rearrange the list by:
Price – highest or lowest first
Number of Bedrooms – highest or lowest first
Date – oldest or newest listings first. 

So if you have any ideas about how to improve the site, especially to make it easier to use, then please let us know and we'll bucket test them out and see if the rest of our users like your idea as well.
