Any idea for when the plugin API will offer the functionality to let sorting by votes be included in the plugin?
Hoping “soon” is soon. 
I have added the required plugin API in discourse#7158 and used it in discourse-voting#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 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?
You can add the option like this
<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.
A post was split to a new topic: Topics that were voted on disappear from user profile after being closed
Hello Stephen,
Could you please assist in explaining where I need to place @awesomerobot 's code for my topics to be ranked by vote on my Boxes with Featured Topics desktop category page style?
Many thanks,
AGEID
我也想知道这段代码应该放在哪里,@awesomerobot?
我还注意到,如果我使用下面的设置,这会让“最新”选项卡显示得票最多的而不是最新的,因此根本看不到最新的主题。这是个 bug 还是我做错了什么?
我希望类别默认按得票数(降序)排序,用户也可以选择按最新排序。谢谢。
不,这似乎是按预期工作的,尽管体验不是最佳的。当“主题列表排序方式”更改为“投票”时,它仍然被称为“最新”会令人困惑。
你可以把它放在你的主题的 Head 部分,在管理 → 自定义 → 主题下。
