Apm: Feature request: Sorting Packages & Themes

[boustanihani]

Could you please allow sorting search results on https://atom.io/packages & https://atom.io/themes by the number of downloads and the number of stars ?

And maybe also inside the Atom Editor...

apm search --packages --sort downloads|stars package_name

This is already possible on atom.io, but kinda hidden and not that obvious:

1. Click on the "See all" link
   
2. Then change to "Most Downloads"
   

Maybe there could be an "All packages" as a 4th section, but instead of having the package cards, it could have the dropdown to filter or just links.

The "See all" link disappears when you search for something, there is still no way to sort search results...

Currently you can only sort all packages without filtering...

@boustanihani I see, I missed the "search results" part.

Allowing to order packages/themes by number of stars / number of downloads from the Settings inside Atom would really help in choosing one.
