Well, it is implemented long time ago :) You can right-click on the <br>
plugin list to change the sort order. Also, we could easily (without any <br>
GUI changes) add a filter expressions to the search bar<br>
(e.g. "wfs votes:200 stars:4")<br>
<br>
By the way, I received an email at my regular address saying that that <br>
confirmation message had been sent to the email address associated with <br>
my plugins (it's a dedicated one). However, I never received that <br>
message (yes, I've checked the spam folder, and that address works fine <br>
in general ;)<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
B.<br>
