Ability to set default sorting per admin user.
Currently "Trending" is the default view. As admins, 'Top' and 'New' are more or equally useful and will depend on use-case.

Filters in Canny just got overhauled in Canny 2.0.
Saved Filters
Saved filters allow you to create a "preset" using a custom mix of filter parameters. This is great if you find yourself switching between sets of filter queries.
Check out our help article to learn more.
Sticky Filters
Canny now remembers the filters you were using last. Select the "Default" saved filter to revert back to the default.

Along with Canny 2.0, we're including the ability to save your filters. Canny will also remember which filter/sort you were on last the next time you come back. Stay tuned!

+1 on the need to apply a default sort to public view as well - our widget shows Trending and has caused some distrust the use of the tool as trending posts can be new and perhaps trivial compared to top voted posts.
Sarah Hum
Peach Jaguar: Thanks for your feedback Mathew. I will say it's unlikely we'll change the default sort for the public view. Trending posts gives newer posts a chance to bubble up to the top. If we showed top posts by default, new posts would get very little exposure. Top posts don't change very often either so list would always look the same.

Hello everyone, happy 2020! We're planning to make a bunch of improvements around Canny this year—including this! Please reach out directly or comment here if you have additional thoughts on this feature. Otherwise, stay tuned for more updates!

Top is definitely most important to us. Being able to configure this would be great.

We would like to view "Complete" posts to the public by default. Current setup doesn't allow that and users required to check "Complete" to view completed posts.

Fellow Coral: Agreed! We want the option to be able to show the completed features, particularly as we're newer to Canny. Showcasing the completed features would spur engagement since users would be able to see that features are actually being completed.

Actually I'd like to make the default sort order as 'top' for even public (not just admins). Trending doesn't really suit us (and I believe it doesn't suit many) because there is low volume of votes for anything to really "trend". There are items with 1 or 2 votes in trending many times (hardly trending).
So either a) allow 'top' to be set as default or b) improve algorithm / definition of 'trending'

Diverse Swan: Hey Advait, the main problem with making 'top' the default sort is it tends to skew the results towards whatever's at the top. Trending shows posts that got recent votes, including new posts, which helps surface a wider variety of ideas.
Trending has worked the same way for quite a while, so it may be due for an update.

Nobody uses the sorting with "trending", we already have a Slack notification that alert all the company in the dedicated channel #product_feedback. So everybody has to select "Top" sorting each time, because Canny reinitiate the sorting to "Trending" each we open it again. Can you fix that ? Like remember the last choice for instance ?
