Any idea for when the plugin API will offer the functionality to let sorting by votes be included in the plugin?

I have added the required plugin API in [discourse#7158](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/7158) and used it in [discourse-voting#38](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-voting/pull/38).

Sorry for taking me so long. 😢

This is awesome, sorting by votes is now an _option_, but is there any way to make it a category default through the plugin per OP?

The [Wyze Wishlist](https://forums.wyzecam.com/c/wishlist) appears to sort by votes by default, but I’ve not had time to dig through their page to see if they’re using another method.

With the voting plugin installed these are the two available options:

Did I miss a step?

</div>

You can add the option like this

```plaintext
<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8.25">
  api.modifyClass('component:edit-category-settings', {
    availableViews: Ember.computed(function() {
      let views = this._super();
      let voteView = {};
      voteView["name"] = "Votes";
      voteView["value"] = "votes";
      views.push(voteView);
      return views;
    })
  });
</script>

```

Seems like it would be a nice option to include in the plugin.

Thanks, that gets most of the way.

For some reason items in the extra-nav-item-outlet apply the `active` class to the list item rather than the link, so ‘Votes’ isn’t shown as active. Is that intentional?

I’ve created a CSS workaround for now, styling both `.nav-pills>li.active a` and `.nav-pills>li a.active`.

Hola Stephen,

¿Podrías ayudarme a explicar dónde debo colocar el código de @awesomerobot para que mis temas se clasifiquen por votos en mi página de estilo de categoría de escritorio “Cajas con temas destacados”?

Muchas gracias,

AGEID

¿También me gustaría ayuda sobre dónde poner ese código, @awesomerobot?

También he notado que si uso la configuración que aparece a continuación, la pestaña “Más reciente” muestra más votos en lugar de lo más reciente y, por lo tanto, no se pueden ver los temas más recientes en absoluto. ¿Es esto un error o algo que estoy haciendo mal?

Me gustaría que la categoría, por defecto, se ordenara por votos (desc), y que los usuarios tuvieran la opción de ordenar por lo más reciente si quisieran también. Gracias.

No, eso parece estar funcionando según lo previsto, aunque no es la mejor experiencia. Cuando la “ordenación de la lista de temas por” se cambia a Votos, es confuso que todavía se llame “Últimos”.

Puedes ponerlo en la sección `Head` de tu tema, en administración → personalizar → temas.
