Don't you always look to see what the protocol is?????  You can't assume how things "always" are.

Actually, as long as I'm given the option to sort in my preferred way, I don't give much thought to what a vendor's default presentation might be.  JMHO.

They didn't try to hide anything from you. They didn't lie to you. It is up to the consumer to do the research on the product, it always has been, and will be

Amazon has "top ratings" as their default.  I'm not exactly sure what that means though.  The first rating on a product I was looking at was 1 star from Nov. 2017.  The one below that was 5 stars.  The other choice is "most recent.  They do have a chart with the # of reviews for each star.  You can click on that and read the reviews.

 

Etsy's reviews go by date.

 

Nordstrom goes by date.  

 

Those are the main places that I've been shopping online lately.
