Description

### Description

Add 'Least stars' and 'Most stars' as sort metrics on the website, and possibly default to 'Most stars'

### Use Case

I would like to be able to sort community constructs by star count as I think it's a helpful metric for popularity.

### Other information

npm downloads alone can be manipulated or misrepresented. As mentioned in a [npm blogpost](https://blog.npmjs.org/post/92574016600/numeric-precision-matters-how-npm-download-counts-work.html) the download count includes.

- automated build servers
- downloads by mirrors
- robots that download every package for analysis

Download count can still be useful for identifying trends, but there should be options for other metrics, especially if ConstructHub is continually indexing packages
