[Bug 792798] [NEW] software center is not showing apps popularity

[Antonio Zugaldia]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: software-center

When I open the software center and I click, for example, in accesories,
I see a list of 336 items.

I don't know the default sorting option, and I cannot choose to sort by
popularity - which Ubuntu collects (http://popcon.ubuntu.com/). This
makes the software center unusable, am I really supposed to go through
hundreds of item to check what apps are available?

In previous versions this was possible but now the option is either
missing or hidden. Thanks.
