pricehigh

sort

You can add sort=<sort type> to the querystring to specify how the search engine sorts the search results. If no sort field is present in the querystring, the search engine sorts by best match; if sort=prdtrating is specified, the search engine sorts by descending product rating; if sort=storerating is specified, the search engine sorts by descending merchant rating; if sort=priceasc is specified, the search engine sorts by ascending price (from low to high); if sort=pricedesc is specified, the search engine sorts by descending price (from high to low).

limit

You can add limit=<limit> to the querystring to specify up to how many products to return at a time. If limit is not specified or is set to a value higher than 20, the maximum limit of 20 will be used.

offset

You can add offset=<offset> to the querystring to specify an offset for the search results. Setting the offset to 10, for example, will skip the first ten products found and return a list of products starting from the eleventh product found up to the limit. If the offset is greater than or equal to the total number of products found, the search engine will return an empty product list.
