Describe the request: In short, the customer would like to rank group posts on a "thumbs up" method and have the posts sorted by popularity to make them easier to find.

Here is the customer's feedback in their own words:

"Hello! I noticed that there is a way to "thumbs up" posts, and I think it would be great if there was a way to sort posts using this metric. The attached post, for example, has 6 thumbs up. In large groups, it can be difficult to see what the most interesting posts have been recently, without scrolling through all of them. This could be allievated by leveraging the thumbs up system to sort posts, adding a new way to view posts, opposed to simply displaying the newest posts first. A stretch request would be to implement additional sorting/search options, such as the option to specify a time range to be included (e.g. this week, this month, this year, all time) as well as the option to search posts (by title or body text). Thank you for your consideration!"

The customer is willing to be contacted if you have questions.
