Quora user profile: Sort answers by upvotes

readme.md

It's mostly dirty jQuery scripting, so it might break whenever Quora updates their markup.

quora-profile-sort-by-upvotes.js

// We need this method because Quora displays 1500 upvotes as "1.5k"
function parseUpvotes (str) {
  if (match = str.match(/(\d+)\.(\d+)/)) {
    return Number(match[1]) * 1000 + Number(match[2]) * 100
  } else {
    return parseInt(str, 10)
  }
}

function sortByUpvotes () {
  // Prepending is important, it will only move the elements and that way we don't lose the event handlers
  $('.PagedList.UserAnswerProfileFeed').prepend($('.pagedlist_item').sort((a,b) => {
    var x = $(a).find('.count').html()
    var y = $(b).find('.count').html()
    return parseUpvotes(y) - parseUpvotes(x)
  }))
}

// This might take a while 
function loadAllAnswers (callback) {
  var total = parseInt($('.list_header').text().replace(",", ""), 10)
  var timer = setInterval(() => {
    console.log("%s / %s answers loaded", $('.pagedlist_item').length, total)
    if ($('.pagedlist_item').length >= total) {
      clearInterval(timer)
      callback()
    } else {
      window.scrollTo(0,document.body.scrollHeight)
    }
  }, 1000) 
}

usage.js

// Sorting currently loaded answers by upvotes
sortByUpvotes()

// First loading all answers and then sorting them by upvotes
loadAllAnswers(() => {
  sortByUpvotes()
  window.scrollTo(0, 0)
})
