Which variant of the sorting element is better: with checkmarks (left) or with dots/circles (right)?

The choice between checkboxes and radio buttons (dots) depends on the context and expected behavior:

• CheckBoxes are typically used for multiple selections, where the user can select several options simultaneously.
• Radio buttons are intended for selecting one option from several.

If it is specifically about sorting, where the user must choose only one sorting criterion, it is more correct to use radio buttons (dots), as they clearly indicate that the choice is exclusive.

Using checkboxes in this case can be misleading, suggesting the possibility of multiple selections, which is not always correct for sorting.

Therefore, for sorting, it is better to use the option with dots/radio buttons.
