Why are Popular Favorites scrambled?

I don't usually have time to read all of the questions on AskMeFi, so I rely on the Popular Favorites (24 hours) tab to screen the submitted questions for those found most interesting by other MeFites. The problem is that because of the way they are sorted I sometimes miss some.
Would it be possible to sort them chronologically by the time and date of submission, the most recent being at the top of the list? That way I could scroll down the list until I get to the question I remember from my last browsing session. What do others think? Thanks!

Who asks the most interesting questions?

InfoDump Analysis Request. Who asks the most interesting questions in AskMe? Given: 1) Users broken down into three groups: a) Low askers - Users who have asked less than 10 questions (but obviously at least one). b) High askers - Users who have asked more than 100 questions and c) Medium askers - Users who have asked at least 10 questions but no more than 100 questions. 2) Ratio of number of all of the favorites that have been received by all of a user's AskMe questions (questions only, not answers) divided by the number of questions they have asked. What I'd really like to see is: a list of 10 users in each group with highest favs to question ratio with user name, number of favorites, and number of questions. Also, could you link their username to their profile, so I can then just go over and look at their questions. I know I could/should learn to do this myself, but I was hoping someone else would take a stab at it to satisfy my curiosity? No research papers or post-doctoral thesis involved here. No timeline/deadline at all. I was just looking at lists of AskMe questions for a couple of users today and thought "Gee, they really ask interesting questions. I wonder who else asks interesting questions?" If you think 10 and 100 are not the best parameters for breaking down high/medium/low askers, use your best judgment. Same if you think 10 in each group is too many or too few, you decide. These numbers are just suggestions. You're the query god, you get to decide what makes the most sense.

Agree?

Pony request: an "I agree" button in Ask? We all use favorites differently (which is a natural and beautiful thing) but I wish there was an "I agree" button that was separate from "favorite" in Ask. I often see questions where someone has already posted the same answer I was going to give, and I'd like to give my extra support to that answer without cluttering things up with "This" or "I agree" posts. (Please forgive if this was answered in one of the "how we use favorites" threads, I really tried to search and read them all, I swear.)

Can I limit my favorites by category?

Miniature pony request: The ability to see categories while looking at favorites. For example, I'd like to be able to see all of the 'food and drink' posts that I've favorited. The trouble is, when I go to my favorites page, the categories don't seem to show up on the posts. Or am I just missing something?
