- the cart will be sorted by price so that using the most expensive first item and the least expensive second item will be chosen (yielding the lowest discount). In practical terms, add_cat_to_cat(x, y, …) or add_prod_to_cat(x, y, …) will select the least expensive item matching category y, rather than the next category y item in product_id order as is currently done. This is the behavior most people expect since it’s the most common retail implementation of BOGO (”Discount applies to lowest priced item.”)
