Summary

This changed the default sort ordering of the download dialog to Rating, for the following reasons:

  • It's more relevant and useful to users to see content that the community thinks is best by default instead of simply what's been uploaded most recently
  • Match Discover's default sort ordering for KNS content
Test Plan

Open a GHNS dialog and see that the default sort ordering of the content is by Rating, and that the Rating radio button is checked:

+1 this makes most sense to me.

As an aside, I'd probably like this to end up being remembered between sessions, but this no different to the current state, and so outside the scope of this patch. As a default setting, yup, sorting by Rating definitely makes better sense than Newest :) (Newest would make better sense for people who look regularly, but Rating is definitely the best first-run thing, and that's the experience we're trying to improve - we can get to remembering the state later on, if everybody else agrees that that's something we want to do)
