Question [Solved] How to tweak sorting by votes?

Hi there,

a common problem on our site are comments which aren't illegal neither spam but of low quality/insulting.

As we don't want to delete those comments we are looking for a way to "down rate" them.

Our idea is

• Add a custom field in commentsmeta which saves a score (generated by AI).
• Use the vote count and the score for sorting. This means multiplying the vote count with the score (e.g. a score of 0.5 and 20 votes leads to 0.5*20=10 votes as a value used for sorting).

Please note that the default sorting option on our site is "Best voted".

My questions are:

• How can we implement this? Is there a filter/hook available which is able to return a modified vote count only used for sorting?
• Is there any predefined add-on available which we can buy?

Regards
