# Award emojis
|
|
|
|
>**Note:**
|
|
This feature was [introduced][1825] in GitLab 8.2.
|
|
|
|
When you're collaborating online, you get fewer opportunities for high-fives
|
|
and thumbs-ups. In order to make virtual celebrations easier, you can now vote
|
|
on issues and merge requests using emoji!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This makes it much easier to give and receive feedback, without a long comment
|
|
thread. Any comment that contains only the thumbs up or down emojis is
|
|
converted to a vote and depicted in the emoji area.
|
|
|
|
You can then use that functionality to sort issues and merge requests based on
|
|
popularity.

## Sort issues and merge requests on vote count
|
|
|
|
>**Note:**
|
|
This feature was [introduced][2871] in GitLab 8.5.
|
|
|
|
You can quickly sort the issues or merge requests by the number of votes they
|
|
have received. The sort option can be found in the right dropdown menu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Sort by most popular issues/merge requests.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Sort by least popular issues/merge requests.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
The number of upvotes and downvotes is not summed up. That means that an issue
|
|
with 18 upvotes and 5 downvotes is considered more popular than an issue with
|
|
17 upvotes and no downvotes.
