Ordering items in "Category List" by total rating.

Hi,

Thanks for contacting us here about this extension.

Can I hope that ordering by total rating will be implemented in future? A separate component, for instance? Or some kind of instructions on how to make changes in php to display list of articles in from the category? I am sure that the programmers who wrote this module are able to remake the php file for outputting "Category List" with the addition of sorting the total rating from this module by the value.

The main task of rating is to help the user to choose any unit on the website, based on the votes of other users. But if there is no sorting by rating, then the meaning is lost. The user can't see top rated materials.

Extension with such functionality or instructions for the existing one will solve the problem of many website owners!

Yes, this is something not possible in our Item rating, we will consider it in the future version.
If you need our support, please drop us a support ticket, our dev will help you in details.


Thanks a lot!
Cheers,

Actually it's a pre-sale question, so do I have an opprtunity to create a ticket? If yes, I will do it.

I just looking for an solution to that meets two main requirements:
1. Users can vote on several criteria from which the total rating is calculated (performed by "Item Rating".
2. The ability to display materials in the list of articles from the ctrtain category sorted by total rating.

I can't fint the solution for second point anywhere...

There used to be a multi-criteria ranking solution that is no longer supported (I won't name it). And to sort the articles by total rating, some people used the following hack:
in the php file resosible for displaying category list of materials, instead of the variable "hits" (which stands for sorting by attendance), the variable of the total rating was set. And then, when choosing to sort the materials by visit, they were sorted by this overall rating.
Is it possible to do something similar with "Item Rating"?
(I supposed that it's not the only edition that needed to be done).
