StackOverflow - Order Answers by Votes Extension

The plugin reorders StackOverflow answers, such that the most upvoted one is on top.

WARNING: This plugin is PRE-ALPHA and UNTESTED. So far it DISABLES the ability to upvote / downvote, so INSTALL WITH CARE.

IMPORTANT: If you have a problem with the plugin, please file an issue under https://github.com/bersling/stackoverflow-order-by-votes-chrome-plugin/issues before giving it a bad review!

Without this plugin, the accepted answer is pinned to the top. Often however, the accepted answer is a legacy solution but there's no-one there to change the accepted answer to a newer answer. In other cases, the asker is just too kind and awards accepted answer to the first person that gives a semi-decent answer.

The issues are discussed in https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/326095/please-unpin-the-accepted-answer-from-the-top , but there isn't a prompt solution in sight. Until then, I hope to alleviate some of the pain with this plugin.

The code for this plugin is visible at https://github.com/bersling/stackoverflow-order-by-votes-chrome-plugin.

Compatibility Notice: You need to deactivate uBlock origin or similar other chrome plugins on StackOverflow for the plugin to work properly.
