# Award emoji **(FREE)**
|
|
|
|
When you're collaborating online, you get fewer opportunities for high-fives
|
|
and thumbs-ups. Emoji can be awarded to [issues](project/issues/index.md), [merge requests](project/merge_requests/index.md),
|
|
[snippets](snippets.md), and anywhere you can have a thread.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Award emoji make it much easier to give and receive feedback without a long
|
|
comment thread.
|
|
|
|
For information on the relevant API, see [Award Emoji API](../api/award_emoji.md).

|
## Sort issues and merge requests on vote count
|
|
|
|
You can quickly sort issues and merge requests by the number of votes they
|
|
have received. The sort options can be found in the dropdown menu as "Most
|
|
popular" and "Least popular".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The total number of votes is not summed up. An issue with 18 upvotes and 5
|
|
downvotes is considered more popular than an issue with 17 upvotes and no
|
|
downvotes.
