Actual result

To sort by tier price you should set tier_price attribute for sorting but there is an issue on that. Internal ticket MAGETWO-59234. Thanks for reporting.

@sevos1984 I think it should just sort by minimal price, what if there is a special price, the same issue applies, right?

Any update?

This issue has already been fixed in develop branch.
Closed.

I am very glad that the people who happen to be using the develop branch in production will have this issue resolved for them.
However, in which version will the fix be released for the rest of the users?
You know, all the other mere mortals who use either composer-installed version or the package downloaded from the official website.
Could you please provide a link to the downloadable version/patch or a composer tag to upgrade to?

Otherwise I don't see how this issue is anywhere near being resolved and closed for the ordinary users (which is what you seem to imply).
IMHO it is misleading and confusing to see such an issue in "closed" state, not knowing the internals which can keep the issue on develop branch for months straight without ever appearing on any of the multiple upcoming releases. I've seen dozens of people upgrading to latest released version in order to get the fix... only to discover that it wasn't included into that release neither.

Are there any news on release date for this fix? Can you point to a patch we could apply to have this fixed on the stores in the meantime?
