Bug ID: 69417
Summary: Sort options for Commons categories
Product: Wikimedia

Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized

When looking at Wikimedia Commons category results, they display in pages of
200 at a time and only in one order - alphabetical by filename. I cannot think
of a time when this default sort-order has ever been helpful to my discovery of
multimedia.
I would find it very useful to aid discovery if there was a dropdown "sort by"
option that would let me display the files in different sort-orders. The larger
the result list the more useful this feature becomes. Useful sort orders could
include:
- Upload date (oldest/newest)
- Usage (most/least used pages on Wikimedia projects)
- Creation date (newest/oldest date of the original image/video)
- Filesize (largest/smallest)
Many other metadata fields could potentially be used but these ones above are
least dependent on uploaders giving good metadata.
Relatedly - if you could move from 200-at-a-time display to "endless scroll"
that would help too.
(sorry if I've incorrectly filed this request - not a frequent user of
Bugzilla)
