No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

Filter and sort WP plugins search results

Description

A WordPress plugin to extend the core plugins search. You can sort results by ratings, name, most download, last updated, and active installs.

The plugins API doesn't allow us to sort search results globally, so they're sorted separately on each page.

We're confident that you'll be able to find the plugin you're looking for on the first page of results, which has 100 items.
