Does the tag sorts by popularity option in setting only works in generated tag page?
How can I sort tags for each topic and display them in topic list?
e.g.
Those 3 tags: Java x 10, JavaScript x 5, C++ x 2,
I’d like to achieve if someone use all those 3 tags in a topic and it can be sorted by popularity when shows under that topic, instead of the original order OP gives them, is this possible?
This is a good point; ordering by popularity of the tags should be respected in the topic itself and in the topic list.
I think maybe this should be true regardless of the site setting. @sam how big of a change would this be?
Hi,
Any update on this? I’d like to check if it’s a relative small feature to add? Or something I can customize as a short-term solution?
Something that’s crossed my mind is sorting by reverse popularity, so the least common / “most informative” tags come first.
Never actually done it, because this sounds like it has more edge cases than a sword factory.
I do feel tag presence on the topic should be default ordered by tag popularity @sam we should assign this, unless it is super hard.
(Also this code path can be skipped entirely if there’s only one tag on a topic.)
since we trade in tag ids I think we join into the tags table anyway, this should be pretty safe and not add any more queries
@kris.kotlarek can you take this?
Improvement was made with that PR and will be included in the next beta release - https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/10889
Below is an example from Meta when tags are sorted by popularity:
For a short moment I changed that option:
The same order of tags you can see when you enter the topic:
