I see that in Magento 2 something changed in the way the page behaves when sorting a product list page or when the number of products visible per page is changed.
In Magento 1 there were parameters added to the url for sorting:

http://demo.magentocommerce.com/men/shirts.html?dir=asc&order=price
http://demo.magentocommerce.com/men/shirts.html?dir=asc&limit=24&order=price

but In magento 2 the sorting and page limit is changed via a POST request.
When I was a 'web development' student I learned that all filtering and sorting should be done via GET, for a better user experience.
This way the user can bookmark a list of 'things' already sorted, or share a link with the list filtered and sorted.

Any good reason why this is not used anymore in Magento 2? And is it worth sacrificing a bit of the customer experience for what ever reason that might be?

Answer 1

Request arguments are cut to avoid possible DOS attacks. So filter modifications are made with POST.

But I really think that you should create a ticket on github to fix this.

Answer 2

I learned that all filtering and sorting should be done via GET, for a better user experience.

You learned wrong first of all. there is not relation with Get method to sorting for good performance. Post decrease the chances of hack.
