Plugins sorting criteria #26

Cat admin shows plugins from the registry in two use cases:

list plugins (no query)
search (query is present)

How do we sort them?

EugenioPetulla commented 8 months ago

Added basic sorting for the plugins list (newest, popular) with this commit: 017a7c8

No sorting for the search (SERP) ATM and no specific algo for default sort (oldest to newest is still the default).

We have to decide if we want this in this moment or if we want to still experiment a little bit on this topic before taking a final commitment.

We can take into account 3 factors:

p: plugin popularity. Scaled between 0 and 1 (by ranking)
r: plugin recency. Scaled between 0 and 1 (by ranking)
c: plugin.json completeness. Scaled between 0 and 1 (by fraction of fields completed)

As a first form, we can just assign weight 1 to each factor and have score = p * r * c. In the future we can assign weights to give more importance to some of them over others!
