Sort TBC Anniversary Auction House Prices Online
The in-game auction house stopped sorting by Buyout and Unit Price in Patch 2.5.6. Sort every Anniversary realm’s prices here instead.
Sort Prices Online Instead
Since Patch 2.5.6 went live on July 7, 2026, the in-game auction house on TBC Anniversary realms no longer sorts by Buyout or Unit Price. Until Blizzard ships a fix, the BootyBayBroker TBC Anniversary tracker is the fastest way to see realm prices in the order you actually want: click any column header to sort every item by buyout price, quantity, or when it was last scanned. Data refreshes hourly for every US and EU Anniversary realm, and the tool is free — no account needed.
What Patch 2.5.6 Broke
On July 7, 2026, Patch 2.5.6 introduced a bug in the auction house UI on TBC Anniversary realms: choosing “Buyout” or “Unit Price” from the sort options does nothing. Listings stay in the default Current Bid / Total Price order no matter which option you pick. Players reported it on the official Bug Report forums the same day, and that thread is the best place to watch for a hotfix announcement. The reports centre on the sorting controls — searching, browsing categories, and bidding still work normally.
Sorting TBC Anniversary Prices on BootyBayBroker
The TBC Anniversary auction house page keeps a sortable market table for every Anniversary realm:
- Pick your realm and faction at the top of the page.
- Click the Buyout column header to order items by price — ascending or descending, the sort the in-game AH currently can’t do.
- Sort by quantity to gauge how deep a market is, or by the last-updated column to surface the freshest scans first.
- Comparing factions? The Alliance vs Horde view adds per-faction buyout, quantity, and the price gap between them.
Your chosen sort is kept in the page URL, so you can bookmark a buyout-sorted view of your realm or share it with your guild.
About the data
Prices for TBC Anniversary realms refresh hourly; each row shows a last-updated timestamp, and every item links to its price history.
What Still Works In-Game
Inside the game, the auction house still orders listings by Current Bid and Total Price — the defaults are unaffected — and name search plus category filters work as usual. A practical pattern until the fix lands: sort prices here first, note the items you care about, then use name search at the in-game auction house to find the exact listings.
