12696	Add ordering support to plugins_api() when filtered on tag or search term	apeatling	ryan	"It would be awesome if you could pass an ordering parameter to plugins_api() that would allow you to return a list of filtered plugins in a specific order.

I'd love to be able to use the API to return a list of the most popular / newest / recently updated plugins on the repo that contain the tag ""buddypress"".

Something like this would be awesome:

{{{
$plugins = plugins_api( 'query_plugins', array( 'tag' => 'buddypress', 'page' => 1, 'order' => 'popular' );
}}}

Even better, also allow search filtering:

{{{
$plugins = plugins_api( 'query_plugins', array( 'tag' => 'buddypress', 'search' => 'album', 'page' => 1, 'order' => 'popular' );
}}}

I'd be happy to implement this if I can get access to the API source on WordPress.org."	enhancement	new	normal	WordPress.org	WordPress.org site		normal		plugins_api	apeatling boonebgorges@…
