---

2. Sorting Algorithm Overview

The sorting algorithm is a core component that enables users to view classified ads in the desired order. This section details the approach and technical design used to implement these sorting features.

2.1 Sorting by Date

• Objective: Display ads in chronological order, either ascending (oldest first) or descending (newest first).
• Algorithm Design:
  • Use of timestamp data for each ad.
  • Sorting is performed by comparing timestamps in the database.
  • The algorithm utilizes Quick Sort or Merge Sort for efficient sorting with time complexity of O(n log n).
• Example Query: sqlCopyEditSELECT * FROM classified_ads ORDER BY ad_date DESC;

2.2 Sorting by Price

• Objective: Organize ads from the lowest price to the highest or vice versa.
• Algorithm Design:
  • Price data is stored in a numeric field.
  • Ads are sorted based on the price column in the database.
  • A Quick Sort algorithm is typically used for efficiency with large data sets.
• Example Query: sqlCopyEditSELECT * FROM classified_ads ORDER BY price ASC;

2.3 Sorting by Popularity

• Objective: Rank ads by their popularity, which could be determined by the number of views, clicks, or user interactions.
• Algorithm Design:
  • Popularity score is calculated based on user engagement data.
  • Sorting is done based on a popularity ranking value stored in the database.
  • A Heap Sort or Merge Sort is often employed for optimal performance in retrieving top results.
• Example Query: sqlCopyEditSELECT * FROM classified_ads ORDER BY popularity_score DESC;

---

3. Database Integration

This section explains how the sorting options are integrated with the SayPro Classified database, outlining the data schema, indexing strategies, and query optimizations necessary for efficient sorting operations.

3.1 Database Schema

• Classified Ads Table: The primary table storing ad information.
  • Columns include: ad_id, ad_title, ad_description, price, ad_date, popularity_score, category_id, user_id, etc.
  • Indexes are created on ad_date, price, and popularity_score to speed up the sorting operations.

3.2 Indexing for Efficiency

• Date Sorting: An index is created on the ad_date column.
  • Index Type: B-tree or similar.
  • Optimizes queries for sorting by date.
• Price Sorting: An index is created on the price column.
  • Index Type: B-tree.
  • Optimizes queries for sorting by price.
• Popularity Sorting: An index is created on the popularity_score column.
  • Index Type: B-tree or Hash Index.
  • Optimizes queries for sorting by popularity.

3.3 Optimized Query Execution

• The system uses Prepared Statements and Parameterized Queries to ensure efficient execution of sorting queries, preventing SQL injection and enhancing performance.

---

4. Backend Process

This section outlines how the backend processes interact with the sorting algorithm and the database to fetch and display sorted classified ads.

4.1 Request Flow

1. User Request: A user selects a sorting option (date, price, or popularity) via the frontend interface.
2. Backend Request: The frontend sends a request to the backend with the selected sorting option.
3. Sorting Logic Execution: The backend selects the appropriate query based on the user’s input, applies the sorting algorithm, and fetches the sorted results from the database.
4. Response Generation: The backend sends the sorted results to the frontend for display.

4.2 API Design

• The backend provides a REST API endpoint for fetching classified ads:
  • Endpoint: GET /api/classifieds
  • Parameters: sort_by, order
  • Example Request: /api/classifieds?sort_by=price&order=asc
  • Response: JSON array of classified ads, sorted accordingly.

---

5. User Interface Integration

This section describes how the sorting options are integrated into the user interface (UI) for end-users to interact with.

5.1 UI Components

• Dropdown menus for sorting options (e.g., Date, Price, Popularity).
• Sorting arrows/icons (ascending/descending) for intuitive user interaction.
• Pagination or infinite scrolling to handle large sets of sorted results.

5.2 Frontend Logic

• The frontend uses JavaScript (e.g., React, Angular) to handle the UI logic.
• When a user selects a sorting option, an API call is made to the backend with the selected parameters, and the results are dynamically rendered on the page.

---

6. Performance Considerations

This section discusses the measures taken to ensure that the sorting functionality performs well under heavy load and scales as the number of classified ads increases.

6.1 Caching

• Caching Layer: Frequently accessed sorting results (e.g., the most popular ads, or newly posted ads) are cached using Redis or Memcached.
• Cache Invalidation: The cache is invalidated and refreshed when new ads are posted or when an ad’s status changes (e.g., price update).

6.2 Load Balancing

• Horizontal Scaling: Multiple backend servers handle sorting requests, distributed using load balancers.
• Database Optimization: Sharding and partitioning are used for large-scale databases to ensure smooth operations during heavy traffic.

---

7. Testing and Quality Assurance

This section provides an overview of the testing strategy for ensuring the correctness and performance of the sorting functionality.

7.1 Unit Testing

• Individual components (e.g., sorting algorithms, database queries) are tested using JUnit (for Java) or pytest (for Python).
• Mock databases are used to simulate different scenarios for sorting.

7.2 Integration Testing

• Full-stack tests are conducted to ensure the sorting options work seamlessly between the frontend, backend, and database.

7.3 Load Testing

• Tools like Apache JMeter or Gatling are used to simulate high traffic and evaluate the system’s ability to handle large numbers of users and classified ads.
