Sort by Update Date #340

Closed born2defy closed 6 years ago

born2defy commented 6 years ago

It would be great to be able to sort the packages on Pursuit by their most recent update date. This way we can easily see which packages are the most actively maintained without having to view each package individually.

hdgarrood commented 6 years ago

I'm not really aware of any situation where it's useful to ask 'which packages are the most actively maintained', as opposed to 'which packages are the most actively maintained for x specific task'. Given that it's unlikely that more than 2 or 3 packages will exist for any given task, it's not too much effort to just look at each of them individually, I don't think.

born2defy commented 6 years ago

I suppose you could look at it that way, but pursuit already publishes a short list of recently updated packages which caused me to think it wouldn’t be too much effort to turn that into a filter. I agree it’s not a critical feature though.

hdgarrood commented 6 years ago

I'm sure it wouldn't be too much effort, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's worth implementing; there's a maintenance cost to the code and also a cost to the UI in that it would become more complex. I'm going to close this for now but maybe we can revisit this later.
