I've started looking more and more at the Best and Worst node lists and am usually most interested in the Best/Worst of the Day and Week. The All Time list doesn't change as often and is less interesting to me.

I wonder what would the interest be in asking vroom to re-order these pages so that they listed day/week/all time rather than the current all time/week/day order?

PS: Personally, I've been scanning the worst node of the day list to see if there are nodes that are getting voted down that really don't deserve to be so that I can contribute my little bit to saving them and/or helping the author understand what they could do to improve the question.

    I'm with you 100% on helping the authors out. That's very cool.

    For the time being, why not add 'Best' and 'Worst' nodes to your personal nodelet, then use the nodelet orderer to bring the personal nodelet near the top of your sidebar? A quick workaround, for sure, but it will get the job done.

    (UPDATE: *loud crack as flesh meets flesh, causing minor bruising to the frontal lobe, followed by an extremely agitated and Homer-ish 'DOH!'* Thanks Kudra. I've obviously misunderstood the question... as a matter of fact, I do believe I glossed over the entire second paragraph! *slinks away*)

      Uh, I don't think that will help. It seems to me the request is to shift the order of the elements within the page. Accesing them via personal nodelets or by the search or whatever does nothing to arrange whether the day's best or the all-time worst are at the top of the page.

      Thank you for the suggestion though. I already do have them on my sidebar. I found that I could never remember where they were otherwise, and before that I never used my personal nodelet so I decided to try it. Needless to say, I'm hooked.

    I also read those pages frequently, mostly the Best Nodes to see what "good stuff" I have missed. I would like to see the order swapped as well, plus I would like to see more then just ten entries.

    Usually I have read most of the top ten entries (and voted for them) but I would bet that there are some nodes that ranked 11 or 12 that are well worth seeing. Maybe this could be user configurable (creature freep) or something.

    I also wouldn't complain if a fourth box were added with best nodes of the month (defined as the last four weeks or 30 days or actual calander month...)
