It used to sort by highest ratings instead of by highest AVERAGE rating.
I thought that was fixed in the latest version.

The first one has 6.5 stars, or 3.25 avg (2 ratings).
The second listing has 4 stars or 6 avg (1 rating only).

Can you confirm you are using the latest plugins? Then I will add it back on the bug list.

that’s because we use a weighted algorithm for the rating system, based on the bayesian equation. (which is what most rating system do today).

The whole point is to avoid that a new listing with only one or two 5 stars rating, could be on top of a listing with 45 5 stars and 5 4 stars for example.

When you have few rating it can look akward, but it’s the best system once you start having more reviews.

Thanks

Thx again
