Sorting Communities

Is there anything in the pipeline that will enable sorting the communities in the Community list by the columns they have listed there?

Yeah, it would be really nice to be able to look at the "popular" communities by sorting by most-subscribed, most posts, and most comments.
- Adding onto this: It would also be nice if it was easy to search in a communities list, and just filter the list there, instead of being redirected to the main search function.
- I think you are searching for something like this: https://browse.feddit.de/
  
  I'm familiar with that, does it have the sorting options that OP and I are discussing? It looks to me like the sort order is both hard-coded and confusing, although less-popular communities do seem to be at the bottom... I can't identify any specific order that entries are listed in.
I'm new to the fediverse and as I was looking for new communities to subscribe to, I missed that feature as well. What I found more confusing is that the cursor actually changes to that "click me" finger when hovering over a column title like it would be able to sort. That's why I first thought, it isn't working only for me.

Searching through the github repo I found this issue of three days ago which asks for this feature. OP has given a work around there: You can filter for your instance and sort the communities at https://lemmyverse.net/communities
+1 for this.
