Sorting by experience AND sentiment

[LeaVerou]

Currently, depending on how I’m grouping I can choose to sort by experience:

or sentiment:

However, this means there is no way to sort by the intersection of the two, e.g. used it + negative experience. Or even multiple values, e.g. (heard of it, never heard of it) + interested.

I’ll try to brainstorm potential UIs later.

I don't see how you could sort by both at the same time? Or do you mean filter by both?

Not filtering because you'd still see all the items.
Ok, let me try to explain.

There are 3 experiences (let's abbreviate as NH, H, U), and 3 sentiments (let's abbreviate as +, o, -). So e.g. NH₋ is the number of people who voted "Never heard" with a negative sentiment.
This means that votes on each question actually fall into one of 9 (3x3) buckets.
E.g. when you group by sentiment and sort by Negative, you're sorting by NH₋ + H₋ + U₋.
Or, when you group by experience and sort by Used, you're sorting by U₋ + Uₒ + U₊.

However, there are 2⁹ possible sums, though of course not all are equally useful.
The ones I have mainly needed were:

• Individual ones, e.g. sort by U₋ to find the features with the worst DX or by NH₊ to find the underdogs: unpopular features that people actually find really useful once they hear about them
• Meaningful groups, e.g. sort by H₊ + NH₊ to find the most interesting upcoming features

Does it make sense now?

Of course, the big challenge is the UI, but I think we may be able to do something that actually may even simplify the current UI.

Right I think I understand now. In other words sort by the length of each of the 9 individual segments instead of sorting by the length of each 3-segment groups.

Yes!
Or exclude one segment out of the three.
Basically being able to sort by either all three segments, or one of them, or two of them.
