Feature Suggestion: Sort Freelancers by most knowledgeable

Hello! I would like to suggest a feature suggestion for the sorting option for the Freelancers page to sort by freelancers with the most knowledge or even most discussions. It could go next the the current sort options of User Level, Positive Ratings, Total Recommendations and Avg Response Time.

This would give those Freelancer who use the Community Discussions to establish their self as an actual expert in their industry. Either as a multi talented freelancer or as one that specializes in one thing.

It's just a quick suggestion that came to me when looking through the Freelancers page and I realized how useful it would be to be able to sort that list by most knowledgeable. Or by those who have the most discussions or something.

Something like this, a little head with some cogs in it or some other icon you could click on and it shows you how many CD posts/responses they have.


I believe doing this would have not only benefits for the people searching for a freelancer who is selling./providing something they are interested in so they could see just how knowledgeable they claim to be in that area.

But also because it would encourage those freelancers in that list to post more on the Community Discussions here as well! Obviously, they would want to come top for that to get the clients/sales so they would post more on the CD!

That makes perfect sense right!?

Come on let's add it as a feature!

What do you think?

As a user/seller/freelancer here - would you like to see that as an option?

What about if you was a buyer looking to hire a freelancer - would you like that filter option?

I know I well would!

Anyone else?
