Is it just me or there is no basic option like this on store?

You can filter by price but, yeah you're right, there is no descending, which would be nice.

However given some of the other issues here, I'd personally like some of those fixed before they move onto that.

At this point, adding a descending price option would be like putting brand new windshield wipers on a broken windshield. :P

Yeah, searching tool could use some major tweaks. Not to mention about searching by genre - lack of such categories as platform game or division between RTS and TBS, and very big categories like "shooter" (where we've got both FPS games and some "arcade-style" games like Raptor or Tyrian) or "action game" (complete mess with plenty of vastly different games).

I agree there are way more important things to do, but this is not really time consuming to implement, it is just another filter. :)

There's wishlist entry for this (Sort by Price) and the oldest comment there is from 2013.
I guess it doesn't rank high on GOG's priority list.

Can't be that hard to implement. Guess they have their reasons no to, which i cannot fathom.

Maybe your assumption is wrong?

Could be. Thing is 99%(this is first store i have seen without it) of online stores have this option, and considering they have 7(SEVEN) different options to filter by price only...kinda doubt it.

Amazon's been broken for years. When you sort by pricing, it only uses their own pricing and not those of the third party sellers.

uTorrent (Which I know is not a store but still an example) doesn't. It only sorts based on connected peers and not total ones.

Want more examples?

Amazon has it, might not work pefect but it does it's job.

Utorrent game store is 3 months old and it can be used only over their client. Quite limited.

Not needed, thanks.

You want list of all that have it? :)

Maybe the regional pricing makes implementing a "sort by price" feature complicated.
Then again, the store reviews don't have a highly needed "sort by date" option, even though that is a wishlisted feature with lots of votes, so maybe GOG just doesn't care?
