This a plugin or custom programming?

I think it is custom programming. There are a couple plug-ins that could do the sortable list, but the score dynamically changes on the fly with any new user activity.

custom. it uses Lester Chan's wp-postrating but it seems customized as well, although I'm not sure what do you mean by "no user interaction" since there has to be user interaction of some sort (ie voting). I tried voting and had to reload the list to see the new values, although seeing values changing without reload could be done using AJAX/AHAH but it would be way more slow

(i'm no expert or guru, so you should wait for more expert opinions, paging Fris in 3-2-1....)

Sorry I didn't mean to confuse with the "On the Fly" comment. Yes it does take a refresh to get the rating to update.

Thanks for the heads up on the rating plug-in, hadn't found that one.

Don't see any need for the rating value to change without a refresh, as you stated that would just bog the system down and for no benefit.

Thanks harvey.

Anyone else want to weigh in?

not sure how you are seeing updated ratings on the index page it appears to be cached

If you select a game, I suggest Vindictus since it is new and has fewer votes and will mostlikely change from you giving it a hirer or lower score. Then go back to that gamelist page, you will see the score change upon Refresh

It's custom written, but it would be possible to improvise with some of related posts plug in, since you can setup parameters how many posts do you want to be shown etc.. and the rest is just calling some values in the table! If i had to do something like that i would make static table and with names of the gamest etc.. and just call value of ratings in last column..

sortable list would be easy to integrate using a jquery plugin, what kind of data did you want to populate, just post names? and alphabetically, with other headings?

Very similar to the layout and the number of fields you see in that example. With the option to sort the entire table by each column individually. The post names will be the only item that links out though.
