Sort plugins by rating

Question

When I want to install a new Wordpress plugin, I do a search for the plugin I want, and I receive a list of results.

Is there any way to sort the results by rating, or name?

If not, it would be a useful addition to Wordpress.

Answer 1

If you search for plugins at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ rather than through your WordPress install you get more options on your search results.

Answer 2

Well it doesn't. It was changed after year 2011 and now (in 2015) you have no options to sort on Wordpress.org or in your WordPress installation.
