Sort by the difference +1 - -1 count on issue index

Or possibly even better metrics such as the Wilson score.

Also requested at #9 but let's open an issue just for it.

Now https://github.com/blog/2119-pull-request-and-issue-reactions that we have +1 and -1 (and some other weird reactions), let us sort issues by the net (+1 count) - (-1 count) on the issue index page https://github.com/isaacs/github/issues

Update 2016-03-24: it is now possible to sort by the count of any reactions. But I want the difference between +1 and -1 totals.

GitLab did it recently, here's a screenshot PR https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/2781

This is an extension of #527 to consider both up and downvotes, and deals more precisely with the current state of affairs.

Likely implies: #605

I'm so tempted to +1 here, but I don't :D

They need to also add the reaction data to the api... just the first post should be enough.

Right now the way that Github is probably looking at the most requested features is to sort the list here by number of comments. So maybe we need to comment on this to push it up.

@isaacs @cirosantilli @ALL This now seems to be solved (& then some — sort by any of the supplied reactions!), e.g., for this repo, to sort open issues by most 👍s:

https://github.com/isaacs/github/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Areactions-%2B1-desc

This is fully accessible by the typical issues-list sort-menu. ☺

@TPS but can you sort by the difference between +1 and -1 ?

[TPS]

@cirosantilli I though that was #605? Again, these fine differences.…

[cirosantilli]

@TPS #605 is show, this is sort. sort likely implies show though.

OIC!:
#527= Bulk/gross sort
#600= Net sort
#605= Net view

Right?:bulb:
