It isn’t new, and framing it as though it were seems rather disingenuous.

Bummer. It’d be cool if there was customization available on how exactly the sorting parameters work. I imagine, for example, if the weighting for a user’s own sorting could be adjusted at their end, you could get Scaled (or something like it) to get you what you’re after. Probably a pretty niche thing compared to just making sure most users are happy with the sorting most of the time though.
