After watching the video I see you can select the order the posts are listed according to their rating. highest to lowest, lowest to highest, etc.
The ratings seem to be average of all ratings. However if a post has one rating with all five stars, I think that would show higher than a post with 9 ratings of 5 stars and 1 rating with 4 stars. Is that correct?
It would seem the second listing shows more positive responses and perhaps should be listed higher than the first. Is there way to give some value to highly reviewed/rated postings?
Following that premise, it would be nice to have more recent ratings valued more highly than ones that are older.
I would expect this would require a serious algo to accomplish, but it would provide a much better user experience for the visitor of the site and encourage natural inbound linking.
If this is not currently available, is anything like this on the radar for the future or is it simply to difficult to accomplish using wordpress as the foundation?
