{{Vptopic |topic=Sort popular pump pages |summary=A Python implementation of pump sorting code. }} I was reading [[http://blog.rosettacode.org/?p=184]]. I'm programming the Village Pump sorter right now.

I will just read all {{vp|...}} and get last edit date. And just sort it by edit date. Very simple.

IMO, it's better than rotate new pump pages to the top of list, and old to bottom. --[[User:Guga360|Guga360]] 21:22, 24 April 2009 (UTC) :My code is 80% done. --[[User:Guga360|Guga360]] 22:01, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

I already runned it. It's working perfectly. (I used GugaTagFixer to test it.) I will post source code here. --[[User:Guga360|Guga360]] 22:37, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
