In the current frontend of GFI-Bot, all repositories are sorted by the order in MongoDB database by default. This does not make sense to end users. It may be better to default the order to "Popularity" and remove the "None" option, as newcomers are likelier to try out popular repositories than the least popular ones.
The name of the options should be more specific and self-explanatory. My suggestions:
Popularity => Number of Stars
GFI => Number of Good First Issues
Newcomer Friendliness => can't understand, change it to the specific sorting metric used
Tags => Programming Languages
These sorting and filtering options should be made more visible to end users, with a visual layout like:
Users can choose one option from all options in the "Sort By" line, and add or remove filtering conditions in the two "Filter by" lines. The second line is to filter by GitHub tags. Each of the options in the Sort By line should have a tooltip text explaining its meanings.
