 * Hi I have realized that there is no way to filter plugin on plugin search page,
   If you can add filter on plugin search It will be good way to search the right
   plugin we need.
 * Also In plugin grid list, There should be listed plugin dependencies plugin is
   using.
    Also if possible there be CSS & JS size should be shown, So developer
   should have a better idea which plugin to use or which not to.

 * Hi there!
 * You could try creating a meta ticket describing your new feature/enhancement 
   idea.
 * [https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/newticket](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/newticket)
 * I’d recommend also adding any screenshots, use cases and other information that
   will help folks discuss your proposals.
 * Thank you!

 * I also want to add my voice to this.
 * Why is there not a way to filter all the plugins by e.g. number of downloads 
   and / or number of reviews/ best rated.
 * Come on guys! I get that probably the reason for this is because you don’t want
   to give more power to the most popular ones – and you’re trying to be fair to
   new authors – but honestly – it would save so much time for us users if we could
   filter the plugin (and theme) search with some additional parameters.
 * Having a plugin dependencies list for each plugin could be quite difficult to
   achieve (though it is a great idea) but why can’t we “order by: most popular”
   etc…. Surely that would be fairly easy to implement.

 * There should be a size filter that shows plugins in ascending or descending lists

 * I support this idea! There are so many extensions in the catalog that it’s not
   so easy to find something really worthwhile!
