Fixing Font Awesome Icons in Select Options

Hey there! Let's figure out why your Font Awesome icon isn't showing up in the select option. The main issue here is that even though you're using the Unicode character, the select element isn't using the Font Awesome font to render it. Here's how to fix it step by step:

Make sure Font Awesome is properly loaded
First, confirm that you've included the Font Awesome CSS in your page's <head> section. For the free version, it usually looks like this:
```
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/6.4.0/css/all.min.css">
```
(If you're using a local copy, adjust the path accordingly.)
Set the correct font-family on your select element
The select and its options need to use the Font Awesome font to display the Unicode character. Update your select's style to include the Font Awesome font family. For Free version 6, use:
```
#view_type_sorting {
  text-align-last: center;
  font-weight: 600;
  margin-right: 0;
  vertical-align: text-bottom;
  font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free', sans-serif;
}
```
Note: For Font Awesome Pro, use 'Font Awesome 6 Pro' instead. Also, keep a fallback font like sans-serif in case Font Awesome fails to load.
Fix the Unicode character mismatch
You mentioned wanting the sort-up icon (Unicode f0de), but in your code you're using  which is actually the GitHub icon! Replace that with the correct Unicode for sort-up: . Your option should look like this:
```
<option id="list_asc_price" name="list_asc_price" value="list_asc_price">[{oxmultilang ident="PRICE_UP"}] &#xf0de;</option>
```
Browser compatibility note
Keep in mind that some older browsers (or even modern ones) might have limited support for custom fonts in <option> elements. If you run into issues, a common workaround is to use a custom select component (built with divs/js) that gives you more control over styling, but the above steps should work for most modern browsers.
