I think it's very useful. For example I can't find the best plugin in NodeBB plugin category.
@main Bottom of a topic, sort by votes.
In the header you'll see popular, this allows you to sort by views and posts. https://community.nodebb.org/popular
@a_5mith That's sort posts in topic, I want sort topics in category. The popular is for all topic not for special category. As I said If I want to find the best plugin, it's a topic, popular is a place to go, but there're other informations not only plugins.
So maybe add a sort menu in category will be better?
This is actually something I've been looking for too. The popular is nice assuming you want to see what's popular across the entire site, but I imagine most people want to be able to sort by what is popular within a category or tag.
We have made this plugin. Try it and having fun~
