Why doesn't sorting products by price work?

Question

1C-Bitrix

Good afternoon, the sorting of goods by price does not work in the catalog:
/catalog/index.php -> ... calling the catalog component

"ELEMENT_SORT_FIELD" => "PRICE",
"ELEMENT_SORT_ORDER" => "asc",
"ELEMENT_SORT_FIELD2" => "",
"ELEMENT_SORT_ORDER2" => "",

Why can't it work, I've already broken my whole head, I've already tried it in different ways, it still doesn't work?

Answer 1

In your case, you need to find out the price type and write something like this
"ELEMENT_SORT_FIELD" => "catalog_PRICE_1",
"ELEMENT_SORT_ORDER" => "asc",
catalog__ - by the CATALOG_FIELD field (can be PRICE - price or CURRENCY - currency) from a price with the PRICE_TYPE type (for example, catalog_PRICE_1 or CATALOG_CURRENCY_3). Starting from version 16.0.3 of the Trade catalog module, sorting by price also takes currency into account.
