Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] Advice, please, from new developer

The number of hits is important because it is used to order by popularity, 
which is a great feature.

One thing I think would be really great is a "sort by title" and a "sort by 
domain name" that sorts the ENTIRE list, ignoring the categories. Often a 
website is arbitrarily assigned to one of several categories that would be 
appropriate for the link. This makes it hard to find a particular website. 
These sorts would make it much easier to browse the links.
