You have the option to sort Directory site listings alphabetically or by popularity. The option you choose applies for the duration of your visit to the Directory.

  • Alphabetical: On the category page click the "Alphabetical" tab to sort the Directory listings alphabetically. If the category is large, only the "A" listings are presented on the first page. Use the A-Z index bar above the listings to navigate to other sites in the category. To display all of the sites on one page, click the "All" option.
  • By Popularity: By default, Directory site listings are presented sorted by popularity and relevance. Sites that are most popular with users or the most relevant to the category appear at the top of the site listings. The order of websites or web documents is based upon Yahoo! Search Technology. If the category is large, the listings display over multiple pages with pagination displayed at bottom of the page.
  • New Site Additions and Official Sites: Regardless of how you sort the listings, official sites might also appear at the top of the listings. In addition, for a period of time sites that are new to the Directory appears at the top of the listings when sorted by popularity.
