Arrange post according to number of comments

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello. I have been using WP for a long time and I am really pleased with the new updates in WP. However I would love to see a new feature which let users arrange their posts according to the number of comments on them. : )

    This will allow users, such as I who can check the posts to see which posts are the ones than most people comment on. I hope the WP staffs can see this and maybe implement it in the next update. Meanwhile, does anyone has ay suggestions on how to do this in the current version of WP?? THX!! : D

    The idea sounds a bit dodgy to me. What about your regular readers that don’t want to read the posts they’ve read a million times? will they have to scroll and click all the way down to the bottom for your newest post, which probably doesn’t have any comments?

    A way to do this, manually, would be to sticky your posts in the order you want them to appear. It will take a lot of messing with, though, and I’m not sure it would be worth the effort.

    Just use the Recent Comments widget; that way the most active comment threads will show up. It won’t show the longest ones, but it will show the ones that people are posting on recently.

    Hmmm sorry thats not what I mean :( I was thinking of viewing the posts in the stats pages according to their comments count. This will enable the WP bloggers to see which posts get highly commented an perhaps make another post like those : ( Sorry if you misunderstood. Thx anyway.

    There’s also a top posts widget? And with the new wordpress dashboard you can tell which of your posts have been viewed more often in the stats.
