I think it would be rather nice to be able to both see and sort by price. It's obviously possible for most of these to be checked by simply opening the links, but there's a lot of products listed and that will take a lot of time and being able to see at least an approximate would be nice.
Obviously, this comes with the issue of how this should be implemented. Crawling websites or accessing through APIs when available to get the latest price might be nice in terms of the price being updated, but they're complex operations and more prone to breakage than I feel is necessary in this case. If I am to propose anything, without knowing much about how the code is structured, adding two fields in devices.csv may be enough to get a decently usable solution.
For example, a price column and a price date column, alternatively with some other names. But essentially, the idea is that the price column is entered as the data for the devices are added to the index, and the date the price is added is included in the other column. In the web application, when hovering over the price, a small pop-up showing a message like "The product was this price Jan, 23rd 2023" or something similar. Having the message be apparent by adding a question mark or information tag would be nice, and the message could alternatively be displayed for the column header and only the date for the item itself. Not sure.
This is obviously not a perfectly planned feature, but I was hoping to conform it such that it won't take too much work to add the columns and use it in newly added products and when products are otherwise updated.
