Filtering forum messages by number of replies

Hi all,

 

When browsing through the messages posted in this forum, it would be useful to have the possibility to sort/filter the messages by number of replies. In this way, people looking to answer questions could quickly locate those that have had no replies yet (or only one or two).

The fewer the number of replies,  the more likely it is that the question is challenging/interesting (or maybe not clearly explained...).

Can this filtering be done currently?  I don't think so, but please let me know. 

Do you think it's a good idea?

If not available, where can one make the suggestion?  I believe ideas is for Power BI itself rather than for this community platform.

Hi @AlB

When you search a key character in the community, you could sort the threads by the number of replies.

For other requirements which doesn't support currently incommunity,  I haven't found any other platform for adding the ideas.

Currently, you could submit ideas in ideas forum for both Power BI or community.

Thanks @v-juanli-msft

that would be a plausible workaround as you can search for whatever character that comes up in all posts and then sort them by number of answers. The sorting function does not seem to be working properly though. Look at the results that I got when searching for "dashboard" and sorting by ascending number of answers. The sorting is all over the place. See number of replies per message on the right side.

Hi @AlB

it seems it is sorted by date from your screenshot.

Please check the settings on your site.

"Sorted by Replies" should shows on the top right hand corner.

Based on my test, it works as expected.

Thanks again @v-juanli-msft

Yes it does work when the sorting is descending. I get the same result as you. It is when I try to sort by replies ascending, so that the posts with no replies come up first, that the search seems to show inconsistent results.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Hi @AlB

As tested, when sorting by replies ascending, it shows wrong.
