This has been a long time coming, and the whole WordPress Community is eager for sort options on the Theme and Plugin directories. <br><br>We're trying to figure out a timeline as to when we should start a moratorium on updating and creating the compatibility pages. Not to be a total nag, but any idea on the roadmap for this? The compilation of these is a lot of work and takes a lot of time. I'd love to shorten it down as soon as possible. <br>
<br>Thanks for jumping in!<br><br>Lorelle<br>

I've been talking to Ryan and the guys for a while about this (I like everything to be sortable, and the lack of compatibility info in plugin search results and list screen in admin bugs me). There are some issues around plugin authors not keeping the text snippet that provides the "'compatible up to" up to date. Before we add the sort function, we're looking at the bigger picture of how to make sure that information is up to date. We've talked about building a system for users to verify a plugin works with version x, and have that override the plugin author's outdated note. Still figuring it out.<br>

And I think it is natural to add an option for versions, especially as the<br>
information is already in there. I think it should be sortable by versions.<br>
<br>
So who do we talk to on the WordPress/Automattic staff handling the Extend<br>
projects to nag them to make this happen? Hmmm, can't remember. I'll have to<br>
ask. Do you know?<br>
