Plugin Directory – Sort by

I second this request, an option to sort by active installation count would be welcome too.

I too would like to see some meaningful ways to sort the results from a search. By way of example: I was just looking for a plugin to create a registration page. I was told my search for ‘registration page’ yielded over 1000 hits! It would be exceedingly helpful to be able to take a large search result like that and boil it down by WordPress version supported, number of installs, overall rating, etc. I’m rather surprised that a sort-by function like that hasn’t been created already.

you guys – you are right: Many many thanks for steppin up the plate- this is such an important thing.

i second this statement of you three wholeheartedly.

plz plz do something and let the future of the plugin begin right now!!!

I’m back again, this time to expand upon my original request to develop some search filters for the Plugin library.

Besides the Plugin library, I find there is no search capability within a given Plugin’s support forum. As a case in point: I wanted to find out which fonts came with Elementor Page Builder’s Plugin. When I was unable to find the answer to my question within the Plugin’s documentation, I thought to look in the Plugin’s support forum. I had no trouble reaching the support forum, but once there, I found over twenty pages of support requests that I had to wade through, looking for a reference in the subject line to the word ‘font’. I found a few such support requests, but none that approximated an answer to my question. How much easier and less time consuming would this have been with just a simple word lookup for the twenty and odd pages of requests that I went through by hand.

Now I know, full good and well, that WordPress has some truly expert coders on its staff. How much trouble would it really be to assign a small team of them to address these search concerns that keep getting brought up over and over?
