Sort routes by stars AND number of votes

Is there a way to sort search results by Stars *and* the number of votes submitted instead of just by the average star vote?

Right now, an esoteric route with only two votes, but both 4 stars, will show up higher in the results than some uber-classic with 250 votes that average out to 3.8 stars.

I'm not saying that the esoteric route isn't quality, it's just that the search results can seem awfully skewed.

In other words, it would be nice to go in to an area and sort it by popularity as well as by route quality.

Thanks!

Two related features that don't exactly answer your questions...

- The "Classics" uses a complicated combination of stars, number of votes, and other things.

- The "Route Finder" can be adjusted so it only includes results with over X votes.

This should help, thanks!
