What is meta? ×

It seems like answers are normally sorted by number of votes, but I just found a question on StackOverflow that doesn't seem to be: What is the single most influential book every programmer should read?

Is there a way to ask StackOverflow to sort these answers by vote?

Use the sorting tabs that are in the top right of the answer list. It will use your last setting, so maybe you clicked a link that had a different sort order.

Note that the accepted answer will always be at the top regardless of the chosen sort option. –  Anna Lear Feb 28 '11 at 22:00

There is no way to sort by "number of votes" however, there is a way to sort by "net votes" (upvotes minus downvotes) which is the "votes" tab at the top of the answers list.
