Diablo – way to sort by time remaining in the Auction House

Normally in game when you socket a ruby into a weapon it will update the displayed DPS to account for the increased damage but in the AH when people post weapons already socketed with rubies it is not updating the tooltip. The sort by dps does seem to be taking the socketed ruby into account though.

Yes, the AH auctions still count down when the AH is unavailable.

I noticed this behaviour on the Americas region's AH as I put some auctions up in between two longish AH outages last week. When the AH came back up, the auctions had counted down significantly even though there was probably only 15 minutes between me putting the auctions up and the AH going down.

Edit: Blizzard (relatively) confirmed the behaviour (Source) you see in game by not classing it as a bug:

I can't confirm 100% but I believe it does not pause.
