How can localstorage() be used to address the issue of browser history not reflecting sorted content in PHP?

When sorting content in PHP, the browser history may not reflect the sorted state due to the page not being reloaded. To address this issue, you can use localstorage() to store the sorting state and apply it when the page is loaded or reloaded. 

<?php
// Check if sorting state is stored in localstorage
if(isset($_GET['sort'])) {
    // Apply sorting based on localstorage value
    $sort = $_GET['sort'];
    // Store sorting state in localstorage
    echo '<script>localStorage.setItem("sort", "'.$sort.'");</script>';
} else {
    // Retrieve sorting state from localstorage
    $sort = isset($_GET['sort']) ? $_GET['sort'] : (isset($_COOKIE['sort']) ? $_COOKIE['sort'] : 'default');
}
// Query database and display sorted content
?>
