You can always sort based on any column using the -sort GET parameter. E.g. -sort=colname+asc or -sort=colname+desc

So you could easily sort on closing time or any other parameter. As far as displaying time remaining, you’ll probably be looking at modifying the templates/view_product.html template. I would probably create a calculated field for “time_to_close” or something in the products table delegate class. Then you can just call this from the template.

Do you have any sample code for displaying time remaining - I have looked through it and have not been able to identify how to include the code in functions.inc.php and reference in public_product_list.html

any help is appreciated - Mike
