Hi @agm65, welcome to WordPress Meta Trac! Thanks for the report.

Good catch, I guess the ordering in WordPress admin should be changed to follow the directory (it's the same in both current and new directory), because it's more intuitive to have 5 stars at the top.

Could you create a ticket on WordPress Core Trac for that?

Hi @SergeyBiryukov,

sure, thanks

Looks like the API might be the problem here, it returns inconsistent ordering in different cases, see the discussion in #WP39769.

  • Keywords has-patch commit added; ui-feedback ux-feedback removed
  • Milestone set to Plugin Directory v3.0

WordPress trunk is currently using the new plugin directory API to test it (per @samuelsidler on Slack), and I've traced the issue to the API endpoints there.

It's not an issue in the directory itself, because the Ratings widget uses a hardcoded range( 5, 1 ) in the foreach() loop, instead of using the actual order as returned by the API.

meta-2468.patch contains a patch and a unit test assertion.
