Created attachment 10707 [details] see a 0-helpfulness comment show up in the wrong order On https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ArticleFeedbackv5/Algebra I sorted the filtering by helpfulness. Given that the three helpfulness rankings that comments on this page have are 100%, 50%, and 0%, I would expect that the comments would be ranked in that order. As shown in the screenshot, a bit of feedback that I had given ("Sumanah posted a comment. 10 minutes ago | Details".... "How would you? AFT test") that was marked "0% helpful" showed up after the 100% helpful comments, but before a 50% helpful comment!

(Note to whoever ends up fixing this...) The current ranking is by "net helpfulness" -- number helpful minus number unhelpful -- so 1 yes / 1 no is treated the same as 0 yes / 0 no. We'll need a way of calculating net helpfulness that distinguishes between the two.
