I know we can sort threads by first post likes in a forum, but can we sort thread replies by likes received in a thread? If not, is there an add-on that does this? I looked around but couldn't find anything.
No, you will need an add-on. XenForo relies heavily on the order of the posts for proper display. I do not know of an add-on that accomplishes what you would like to accomplish.
Hey Joey, I haven't forgot your suggestion but it's not what he looks for.
He wants to sort replies, and you asked to count total likes in a thread, so these are pretty different things.
