Sorting extensions in the Chrome Web Store helps users quickly find what they need.
In the past, if you wanted to sort a list of extensions in the Chrome Web Store, you had to manually check things like ratings, reviews, and categories because there were no sorting options.
However, because Google Chrome has undergone essential changes and improvements, you can easily sort extensions in the Chrome Web Store using the sorting features.
In this step-by-step guide, we’ll show you how to sort extensions in the Chrome Web Store so you can easily find the perfect extension.
Steps to sort extensions in Chrome Web Store
Step 1: Open your browser on your laptop or computer.
Step 2: Go to Chrome Web Store by typing “chrome.google.com/webstore” in the address bar and hit Enter.
Step 3: In the left tab, select the category of the extension or search you are looking for.
Step 4: Once the search results appear, look for the “Sort by” dropdown menu on the right-hand side of the page.
Step 5: To sort the extensions, click the “Sort by” dropdown menu and choose ‘Most relevant’ or ‘Highest rated’.
This will now sort the list of extensions showing on the result page in the Chrome Web Store.
