The concept is great- but it took over my entire comments section with its own styling&
verbiage, which is why I deactivated. Sometimes less is more.

### 󠀁[It sorts by likes !!!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-sorts-by-likes/)󠁿

All morning I’ve been searching the web for a plugin that provides like/dislike 
functionality and more importantly sorts comments by likes. There are a great many
that provide the former, but I was giving up hope of finding one that provides the
later. I had become convinced that I would have to delve into the files and see 
if I could cobble something together myself. Just as I was about to give up, I found
a website offering “a list of the 18 best comment plugins”. I half-heartedly scrolled
through the list, when I saw “Comments with higher aggregate scores are displayed
at the top of the list.” I had to read it three times before I could believe it.
It sounded like exactly what I’d been looking for. I’ve installed it and tested 
it briefly and so far it seems to work perfectly. You should scream it from the 
rooftops… this plugin sorts comments by likes !!! It may well be the only one of
its kind. In my search I’ve seen endless folks also looking for this functionality.
Let them know that you have it! Thank you so much for this add-on. You have made
my day.

Plugin does not work. Clicking on the arrows next to each comment does nothing. 
Also, when I view my site as a guest, the arrows aren’t even visible.

Плагин очень кривой, можно накрутить кликами сколько хочешь рейтинга, просто за 
счет кнопок вверх-вниз.

No more to say. Great little piece of useful code. Thank you. P. S. Perhaps we can
expect a post voting plugin in the same style? Now, that would be great! 🙂
