   I send a copy of this issue to github support email, and they gave a prompt response as below.

   Thanks for your feedback! We're always working to improve GitHub and we consider every suggestion we receive. I don't show that we are planning to allow dependents to be sorted by stars this year, but I have added it to our internal Feature Request List.

   We can't say if/when we may add a feature, however your feedback has definitely been recorded.

   Is it possible to get list of stars-sorted dependents using GitHub API? Maybe some 3rd-party apps or browser extensions exist for it?

   Another use case: there is a library that we are using but are new to it (in our case neo4j-graphql and ramda). I can go to https://github.com/ramda/ramda/network/dependents to see other projects that are using that library. But what's the use of x pages of play projects? I'd like to find the large projects that are using this library. Now I have to go thru many pages to find em

   I also wrote tiny CLI tool ghtopdep that just work.
   It may be installed via pip pip install ghtopdep.
   Tool has some options

   ghtopdep --help
   Usage: ghtopdep [OPTIONS] URL
   
   Options:
     --show INTEGER       Number of showing repositories (default=10).
     --more-than INTEGER  Number of stars (default=5).
     --help               Show this message and exit.
   

   As result you receive table of stars-sorted dependents.

   +1. Another use case is for finding some big names that rely on your open-source code so you can display it on a portfolio website or resume. Gives much needed commercial value to open-source authors.
