Hey > [@Tumi](#): > > It is possible to create a ranking of this ratings ? Yes, it’s possible. In a separate plugin you could add a new topic list that sorts topics based on the `average_rating` topic custom field. Here’s an example of how to create a new topic list that is sorted by a custom field: - [discourse-events/plugin.rb at main · angusmcleod/discourse-events · GitHub](https://github.com/angusmcleod/discourse-events/blob/master/plugin.rb#L136) > [@Tumi](#): > > i want to show on the sidebar Top 10 best rating topic from category X and category Y Well, you’ll need a sidebar first. Then a widget that has a topic list in it. Here’s some I prepared earlier: [https://github.com/angusmcleod/discourse-layouts](https://github.com/angusmcleod/discourse-layouts) [https://github.com/angusmcleod/layouts-topic-list](https://github.com/angusmcleod/layouts-topic-list) So all you need to do is change the topic list in the layouts-topic-list widget to the topic list you created in your new plugin. 1. Follow the [beginners guide to creating a plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-creating-discourse-plugins-part-1/30515) 2. Add the layouts plugin with the topic list widget 3. Copy / paste the new topic list code I’ve linked above 4. Change a few variable names and urls in the topic list widget and the topic list code. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-ratings-plugin/39578)._
