Description

I am fairly certain that you could order search results by number of downloads and by number of github starts before.

Is there a way to reintroduce that feature? If I search for swagger (just as an example) I get results that are very relevant (popular projects with many downloads) on page two and three.

An alternative would be to always sort the results by number of downloads.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by tracing how Packagist search results are ordered, then determine whether sorting by downloads, GitHub stars, or package count is intended; done means the chosen ordering behavior is implemented and verified for searches such as “swagger”.
