Show recent, own, random issues at the top?

[calmh]

Currently there is a single list sorted by votes descending. Someone who opens the page thus sees the most voted issues, and maybe won't scroll down far enough to see other interesting ones. This biases against newer issues with fewer votes. Some ideas to balance:

• Show a separate section with the ten latest created (or latest updated?) issues
• Show a separate section with a few randomly chosen issues
• Move issues you've already voted for into a separate section

Layout wise we could show a couple of such sections beside each other at the top.

-------------------------------------
|  Latest issues  |  Random issues  |
|       ...       |        ...      |
+-----------------+-----------------+
|  My voted issues                  |
|                ...                |
+-----------------------------------+
|  Other issues by vote count       |
|                ...                |
+-----------------------------------+

Not sure if emotes have timestamps but you could show trending, which is ones with most recently gained votes.

Generally an option to sort by votes, date created, date last commented and as Audrius suggested date last voted would be helpful.
