Description pholthuizen 2005-09-25 19:31:59 UTC
Currently after querying for issues on issueZilla all issues are sorted on
priority. I think it will be nice and better for the voting system that the
order of issues within each priority are based on the vote count of the issues.

Sincerely,

The following comment has been made by Tim Boudreau on the dev list:
What you're after is more-or-less already possible - Do an IZ query.  At the
bottom of the page, click "Change Columns".  A page with checkboxes for possible
columns will appear.  Check "Votes".  When you get the query page again, if it's
not sorted by votes, click the column header.

Note that only a miniscule percentage of the total issues filed are voted for at
all.  Out of 7829 issues currently open, there are 620 which have votes;  of
those, 200 have more than 1 vote.

==========

My reaction to Tim's comment:
I am aware that the voting system is not used very much, but I think the system
can work, but then, in my opinion, it needs some changes:
- Easier way of voting (more intuitive interface)
- Better support from issueZilla in sorting according to votes (this issue)

If votes are used in sorting, developers use the voting system unconsciously. I
think users will finally experience that their votes actually matter and it will
encourage voting more.

Sincerely,
Patrick Holthuizen
