Default sort of quests should be points, descending
I'm assuming that part of the idea behind PP is that you prioritise working on quests that have the most votes (obviously that's a personal choice, but why are you participating if there's not some element of that?).
Given that, I think the list of quests should be sorted by number of votes, descending.
Of course you could just go the whole hog, but until then, I think a change on sort order makes sense.
And I missed this in today's email:
Oh, and you can also sort your open quests simply by dragging them around!
But still.
You're right that it would be useful, but I don't want to enforce this order on everyone, especially since we've got manual ordering now. I'm planning to add sorting switch in the left column, next to "Show tags" checkbox. (And some other filters will go there too, such as filtering your quests by tags or realms.)
I hope you're going to keep the sort order sticky? Eg the selector could be:
Keep sorted by * my manual sort order (new quests added at the top) * most recent first * most votes first
So that having selected "sort by most recent first" it will remember that, and I wouldn't have to select it every time.
Yep, that's how "Show tags" work, so it's reasonable to assume other filters will work like that too.
