To be honest, I don't understand how that one works. Choosing "Past week" and "Past month" seems indeed to sort by upvotes, but choosing "All" or "Past year" gives a seemingly unordered result.

Is that a bug, or is it sorting by something else ?

I would be interested too. For example here are unanswered discussions, where sorting by upvotes would be helpful. At the moment we don't have many unanswered discussions, so I can look trough them manually. It would be lovely to see what our community has upvoted most and then use this information to prioritise what need to be done.

As far as I can see, sort:top is:unanswered doesn't sort by community upvotes.

Not sure we understand each other here. My issue is a basic one : as an end user, I can't sort the topics by vote counts. Showing me HTML code talks to my inner developer but still doesn't solve the initial problem.

Here's a more visual way of showing what I mean

You can clearly see vote counts being all mangled up on the first two pictures (all / past year), and the sorting order being correct on the rightmost picture (minus some of the displayed 4's being actually 5's when you look at the upvoted-vote-count property, but you get the general idea...)

Choosing "Past week", "Past month", "Past year" and "All" will gives you a list of discussions based on the "Vote Counts".

That doesn't sound right to me. Unless it's a bug in GH, sorting by sort:top definitely isn't based on the upvotes on our end:

Update 2/23/2021:

It seems to only work on "Past Month" and newer, but not on "All" or "Past Year"

@becca What is sort:top supposed to sort on? It seems to sort by upvotes when choosing "Today" or "Past Week", but it seems to sort arbitrarily for any date ranges bigger than that 🤔 Is there a sort:upvotes equivalent in the works?
