Add sorts to various random package views

[bnb]

Something that's always been super frustrating to me is that there's a handful of views on npmjs.com that have no possible way to actually sort massive lists of packages, severely limiting their utility.

For example, when I'm looking at querystring I can see that there's 2966 dependents that account for 12m downloads weekly. The view on the package page seems entirely random, but then the specific dependents view is sorted differently - it does include some popular modules at the top, but I can't tell how it's actually sorted.

The same is true for personal profiles / org profiles. If you look at my profile, the order of modules is seemingly completely random - it's not downloads, it's not most recent publish, it's not alphabetical. It's effectively useless.

I'd really like to see some basic sorts available in these UIs (and any other that similarly shows a list of packages):

• Downloads (High to Low)
• Downloads (Low to High)
• Most Recent Publish
• Least Recent Publish
• Most dependents
• Least dependents

Hey @bnb

We are talking about doing some refreshes to the landing page and I'll include this in the last of possible improvements

Very glad to hear that ❤️

Hey @MylesBorins is there an update to this? I agree with @bnb it can be very frustrating trying to find the most downloaded dependent of a package and going through over 300 packages individually is very tedious.

Strongly agree with this!
