If I search in Manage Palette | Install for "dashboard" it shows me 10 results of which #1 is node-red-dashboard. [image] @flowfuse/mode-red-dashboard however, is not in the first 10 results. In fact it's not in the +110 more results either, it's nowhere! That's with default sort order - releva…

A simple comparison with indexOf and localeCompare on package name and node types. I've asked in the past to change this comparison to a more "real" algorithm based on many factors but I don't know if Nick has had time to look at it.

I've asked in the past to change this comparison to a more "real" algorithm based on many factors but I don't know if Nick has had time to look at it. It's very much this. Internally within FlowFuse we've discussed the same. The ability to mark packages as deprecated is important addition I think…

Same here. And I agree, it is "relevance" sorted by default - not sure quite what the calculation for that is. It is #19 I think for alphabetically sorted. It is #9 if sorted by date.

[image] joepavitt: Last updated can be misleading though. I published a satellites node about 6 years ago, haven't need to update it since because it's still functional. I would not worry by recently updated you are still number 1 (2 years 9 months ago). Or number 2, note there are only 2.

[image] joepavitt: Last updated can be misleading Absolutely, one of mine has not been updated in 8 years but continues to work and is used.

If you show the node some love it would rank higher in the search results. Node developers who want a better ranking would be incentified to update/add features. I don't see any other way of ranking except name, download and last updated. What other wasy of ranking do others see?

One thing I have just raised is that there are entries in the catalogue that no longer have a corresponding entry in npm. So there appears to be some tidying needed.
