I never really use sort by price because I find that the cheapest results are usually not very relevant, but I do have other complaints about sorting results on Amazon...
Why do I still need to select a department in order to sort? Does Amazon really not have the resources to index their entire product database (or at the very least just pick the department with the most results to save me a click)? And why can I only sporadically sort by bestselling/most popular?

That's exactly part of the problem. If I'm searching for something specific like 'iPod Touch 32GB' I should not get results for $0.99 iPod cables and cases.
