dave said: My general search does sort by most popular (judged by how many different people have contributed content to that plant).

The functionality you're looking for does exist, though, I believe. If you search first for the genus (Sempervivum) and then at the top of the result click on "View all plants in the genus Sempervivum."

You will then get an alphabetically ordered list and your species arachnoides is right there near the top. Give that a try and let me know if this satisfies the need.


Yes, I eventually gave up trying to find the plant record using the search box, and visited the plants database page. That did work, but I've been used to just using the top-of-the-page search box on whatever page I happen to be on. I guess I need to teach myself to go to the database page before searching. Popularity ranking doesn't help me much.

Thanks,
Virginia
