I should be able to sort movies by rating AND number of votes simultaneously. I don't like moviemeter. I prefer weighted user rating .

Sorting on multiple criteria for titles and people would be very useful.

Sorting first by rating then by number of votes probably makes sense so long as the ratings sorted at two decimal places. It does not make sense if the rating has full precision for the sort.

I very knowledgeable user of IMDb, MayorDefacto, sent me this via IMDb Private Message. I tried it out and it works.

Over on GS, JudgeX X asked for the ability to sort titles by user rating AND number of votes. This is probably the best one can do with the tools currently available:
http://www.imdb.com/search/title?at=0&genres=comedy&release_da te=1970,&sort=num_votes&title_type=feature&num_votes=500,& amp;explore=user_rating

By tacking on the &explore=user_rating term onto the URL derived from an Advanced Title Search1, one can access the vote totals for each tenth-point rating from the list in the right column panel.

Swapping the parameters (sorting by rating/exploring by num votes): www.imdb.com/search/title?at=0&genres=comedy&release_date=1970 ,&sort=user_rating&title_type=feature&explore=num_votes&am p;num_votes=500,
isn't nearly as useful because the "explore=" panel only shows the first 100 results. But one can swap in any of the other sort options as long as the other parameters sufficiently limit the dataset. For instance, &explore=year would work in this instance since there are less than 100 post 1970 years represented in the database. &explore=moviemeter is pretty much pointless - one film per MOVIEmeter rank means only 100 films get sorted.

Anyway, it's something you might want to play with.

1ATS search parameters in this example include:
Title Type = Feature Film
Release Date = 1970 to __
Number of Votes = 500 to __
Genre = Comedy
Display Options = Detailed / 50 per page sorted by
Num Votes Descending
