In Theia-IDE how to sort Open VSX extensions shown in the "Extensions" tab by download count?

[AleksanderBobinski]

I know this is possible in VSCode but I can't quite find the button to do it in Theia-IDE.

Hey @AleksanderBobinski,

please open a feature request for this. Currently, Theia is not capable of specifying the sorting order when querying the vsx-registry:

theia/packages/vsx-registry/src/browser/vsx-extensions-model.ts

Line 60 in 8466753

await this.doUpdateSearchResult({ query: this.search.query, includeAllVersions: true }, token);

(note that the open-vsx server is capable of accepting a sort order - we just have to provide it in the query)

Thanks for the quick reply! I've created the request - #15812.
