How would you test filters and sorting?

Scenario

Your interview prompt

An ecommerce catalog has category, brand, price range, rating, availability, and discount filters plus sorting by relevance, price, rating, newest, and popularity. Filter state is reflected in the URL.

List flows, risks, edge cases, data conditions, UX, security, API/backend, and performance concerns.

Tip: a stronger answer usually mixes happy path, negative cases, state changes, data, backend, UX, accessibility, and risk.
