  Missing the feature to filter by amount of comments or score and sorting by date. But works well enough in a "emergency" I suppose :)

    I was just about to reply that you can sort by date but it’s usually hidden in a menu somewhere, but just checked and it’s actually gone on both. WTF, I could have sworn this used to be available somewhere, just usually buried.

  I don't know exactly, but it's been a pretty long time. Probably at least 10 years?
