"Thanks"

Just a suggestion which mightn't be very difficult to implement.

Often you can receive a few thanks on various posts at the same time, but with the way your list of thanked posts is laid out it's difficult to know when which post was thanked.

If, somehow, you could make the list of a person's thanked posts (the list you see when you click on the link in your statistics) be updated so that the most recently thanked post is that the top, it would make things a lot easier.

I know that checking which posts of yours were thanked mightn't be important to some people, but no doubt everybody likes to know when and for what they were most recently thanked!

Anyway, just a suggestion.

The plugin has the feature to show the time the thanks arrived at.. might be useful but a bit of extra clutter

I'm guessing that feature would place alot of strain on the site. Wouldn't it need to re-sort and update the database every time a post is thanked? Would be cool though

No. You'd just need to sort the results based on the thanked time rather than the post time.

May be a little bit painful though because posts can have multiple thanks. So rather than simply listing the unique postids from the thanks table, you'll need to find the postid, MAX(thanks_date), grouped by the postid.

There may be some performance concerns, but considering that it's an incidental search and not a common one, I doubt it would be a massive consideration. I'm not privvy to the backend structure though.
