I expected the "sort by" thingy to be at the top-right of the list of things I was viewing. Despite that minor gripe, please accept my compliments. I'd love to see a site that can point me at all the newest and most popular JS tools and maybe this can be it.

Thanks for the kind words. The sort by should only list the current page/category. You might be confused because "sort by" ignores pagination and rearranges all of the libraries in that category, and only then re-paginates it... Or am I misunderstanding your comment?

Thanks for coming back to me. Let me clarify what I mean.

When I'm on the front page or, especially, once I have selected a category, I want to be able to sort that list by newest/top-rated/last-updated/etc.

I'm used to seeing the option to do that sorting (or filtering, if you ever do that) up at the top of the things I am looking at, rather than by the list of categories.

So, the recommendation I am making is to show any sorting/filtering controls at the top of the list instead of on the left hand side of the page.

Aah, yes! That makes sense. Ill take a look at modifying the design to do that, its probably a better UI paradigm.
