Option to sort issues-list by number of linked issues (à la Google's BackRub/PageRank) #642

Open TPS opened 8 years ago

1 of Google Search's original innovations was the BackRub/PageRank algorithm. GitHub should implement the simplest version: allow sorting an issues-list by most-linked-to issues, as perhaps an indicator of how important an issue is.

This is somewhat a version of #219 for issues.

Standard form response from GitHub:

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll certainly pass it along to the team. I can't promise if/when we might implement that, however your feedback has definitely been recorded.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

Cheers, GitHub Support
