Bring back "sort by Trending" option for the search page (incl. profiles)


Recommended Posts

I mentioned that previously, and others and I were told that "sort by Trending" and the new "sort by Endorsements" are the same thing. But that's not true. I have already proven during the beta phase that they differ significantly and thus the new design has lost a significant advantage over the old one, to the point where the search no longer serves any purpose for me. Here's where I show and explain the difference between the old and new system:

And here's another post by another user explaining it as well, probably better than I ever could:

I neither want to see the most endorsed mods of all time (which are some of the oldest ones in most cases) nor do I want to filter out all mods that were released before a specified time-frame, which is what the current "sort by Endorsements" does. I want to see all mods ever released or over a longer period of time but have them sorted by the most endorsements over the last 14 days. Basically the same functionality of this page but with the possibility to have search parameters applied to it. That's what the old "sort by Trending" did.

And please also make this forum section sort by "Recently updated", "Last replies" or "Start date" by default. Right now it seems to be sorted by "Most replies" which is kinda pointless IMO and worse than any alternative.

This would be very useful, I agree. I've always found it obtuse that the date range sort only ever applies to the publish date of the mod, even when you're sorting by another criteria. It makes sense to me that if I'm sorting by "Endorsements" and "14 Days", then the results are for endorsements in the last 14 days. I'm very keen to explore this as an improvement in the future.
