On another site wanted to see the list of topics sorted by likes descending.
The topics page does not list likes so could not click on it as a column to sort.
However if you add /latest?order=likes to the URL you get the desired result, e.g.
https://meta.discourse.org/latest?order=likes
On another site many users will post a topic before searching so I am trying to point them to the most viewed and most liked topics first to see if that will keep them from posting a previously asked question.
