Sorting the insights dependency graph lists

Can be useful for dependents repositories and packages lists

That really interesting to look at dependents repositories and find some great project. Some popular repos has a lot of dependents so I wonder be able to sort them by stars or forks.

Current roadmap

There is no any projects tasks at github/roadmap but I found some issues

You can use this tool github-tooling/ghtopdep: CLI tool for sorting dependents repo by stars

Issue in community repository: Allow dependents to be sorted by stars · Issue #1537 · isaacs/github

nice. hope to see the same at GitHub API and UI

These tools don't look useful for large projects. They appear to just scrape the web pages, but large projects have 100,000s of dependents, and would therefore require 10,000s of requests. This really needs to be supported by Github.

so there is still no official support for this feature after three years?

Didn't know about much community support!
I'm sure that it's possible to implement even for a large amount of data with a good fullstack work.
