Thanks for your request. We are trying to find a solution.
1) Reinstall the plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/likebtn-like-button/
2) Find the comments.php template of your current WordPress theme (for example: /wp-content/themes/twentytwelve/comments.php)
3) Add the second parameter to all the calls of wp_list_comments function in comments.php:
// Before
// wp_list_comments( array( 'callback' => 'twentytwelve_comment', 'style' => 'ol' ));
// After
$comments_sorted = likebtn_comments_sorted_by_likes();
wp_list_comments( array( 'callback' => 'twentytwelve_comment', 'style' => 'ol' ), $comments_sorted);
Is that only available for the Ultra Plan??
This feature is available for all the plans allowing to use Statistics API: PRO, VIP, ULTRA.
http://likebtn.com/en/#plans_pricing
so it’s not available on the free plan?
If i wanna show the button only for the registered user.. is it possible??
Yes. User “User authorization” option on “Buttons->Settings” page of the LikeBtn WordPress plugin.
can you give any indication as to how computationally heavy (and how much of a % increase in render time) sorting comments by like tally is compared to regular sorting? Would it be very noticeable for a site with a comment count that varies between 80 and 500 comments per article, and a few thousand page views per post per day?

“Likes” custom fields are being retrieved for comments.

Maybe 1.2 times slower, it depends on your Database size and CPU.
