On steam store please add ability to sort games by their download size

[donatas081294]

Not sure why is this not a thing yet, like why on the store I can't sort games by how big would the download before I even buy them.
Like ooh this game will be only 20GBs after I bought and when I press donwload/install (well the very first time downloading it after purchase and it shows how big it is, like the whole this game file size is this and you have this much storage space and so on) it shows the size.
Which would be the same for everyone, because in specifications for minimum and recomend is not the same when I press download for the game. So we should be able to sort games by their size as the only one available would be the default first time download size (not the fully installed and update, but the very first time you click download, since it can't be dfferent from person to person).
Since every game would and should give steam specifications on how big is the file size, so why we as a customers can't sort it before pressing play for free to play games and before the purchases on paid games. Like show file size next to the price there's 2 spaces either between user reviews and the price or above the price on front page. Or in more detailed list on the search the file size could be either between it's tittle and year it came out or between year it came out and it's price.
Like why is the file size hidden unless you have purchased the game or pressed play on free to play games and only then you can see it's size. This would help people sort smaller games for quick downloads and try out and for bigger ones plan ahead. (Which hopefully forces AAA game studios and indie to reduce the required download size)

the steam client shows the required space before you install the game.

Yea only after you bought it and pressed download or when pressing play for free to play games and then it shows that.
I mean actually to be able to see how much space is required before buying it or pressing play on free to play ones. Like have them in sort tags, something like sort by size. Since you can sort a-z, price and user reviews. What we are missing is to be able to sort on store by size.

OP is wanting to know the size of the game BEFORE they buy it.
If the install button is there, that means the OP has bought it and that's not what they are asking.

Agreed - would be good info to add near the "Add to card" button or thereabout
The storage requirements are usually listed under "System Requirements" right at the bottom of the page - but that doesn't seem to really give accurate info

No it doesn't on on store click on any game and before you buy and tell me where does it show?
As system requirements don't = the file download size FOR THE FIRST TIME you click download, not an update after download, not the whole installed game disc storage, but for the first time the required disc space and so on. That should be visible on every game as it would be the same for every person.
