Sadly there's no way to sort by reactions. I'm not sure this will be easy to do or fulfill the promise

Believe or not, there is a way to filter by reactions: https://docs.github.com/en/search-github/searching-on-github/searching-issues-and-pull-requests#search-by-number-of-reactions

That's sorting by total quantity, not number of 👍. So any reaction counts towards that including 👎

Good point. Would you prefer I revert the PR?

I just want to be clear that this will be a manual process of sorting and then checking the reactions manually which may make this more onerous for us and thus break expectations for users who are trying to vote as we indicate. I think we should try it out, but I don't have high expectations for success personally.

GitHub isn't designed for us as Open Source projects - it's designed and built almost exclusively for corporate users at this point. This is why moderation tools are crap. It's why pull request reviews are prime vectors for spam. It's why trying to manage feature requests doesn't work. I almost wonder if discussions are a better venue for feature requests than issues, even though they're completely a separate flow and notifications seem unreliable there.
