Currently, We can't sort moodle form posts on the basis of number of upvotes.

It will be helpful if we can sort the forum posts based on number of ratings. Maximum rating post coming on the top. This will help anyone visiting a forum to find the most useful post on that forum. it will be particularly helpful if there are large numbers of posts in the forum.
Average of ratings:Useful (1)

I could be wrong, but in general, only the teacher can rate posts, like a "grade," and this information should not be available to students for privacy reasons. Someone else might know a way around this, such as changing some settings or role settings.

any one can rate a forum post as useful. I have rated your comment as useful just to prove this.

Ah, we are into the differences between a "count" and a "score" type of rating. And I am no

The only kind of forum "gradine" I have done is "Ratings." I don't use Whole forum grading, nor have I ever used the "useful" or any other scale. So I don't know that I can help.

You did the right thing, creating a Tracker item for your idea.
