Bug Description

The ranking bug is: the people who use Stellarium say it's high quality, but the people who have no interest in using Stellarium won't ever say it's low quality, because they won't use it at all, so Stellarium will be ranked high even though Stellarium isn't interesting.

You have sort by quality (stars), but I want more. All download web sites have sort by popularity. In Download.com's case, popularity is number of downloads. In addons.mozilla.org's case, the popularity of an add-on is the number of people who request updates for an add-on from Mozilla's servers in a day which is the number of users. I want you to have sort by popularity (users).

Please?
