Summary
A request was posted on Ask MetaFilter for a Greasemonkey script to sort subscription feeds by unread count. Following discussion with the user, I created the script Google Reader Sort Subs, which adds Up and Down buttons in the Google Reader Subscriptions pane to sort display of feeds by unread item count, either in ascending or descending order. The script has been tested as working with Firefox on Windows XP and Mac OS X.
Detail
The Google Reader Sort Subs (GRSS) script depends on particular Google Reader internals, both structure and id. As a consequence, any changes by Google to their Reader product may cause the script to fail, at which time you can check here about an updated script. Sometimes I do not know a script is broken until a user posts feedback, so reporting a problem may well help other people besides yourself (most script users do not report problems they have with scripts).
GRSS attempts to locate two elements with the ids sub-tree-item-0-main and sub-tree-header. Because these elements are built dynamically, the script will spend up to 30 seconds trying to locate the elements after the page loads before it gives up and ceases execution.
Assuming GRSS does successfully find the two elements, it adds two buttons: Up and Down to the Subscriptions pane of Google Reader (typically the lower left pane). Obviously, these are not the most descriptive buttons, but space is really tight in the Subscriptions pane, so terse is good. Clicking on the Up button will sort all feeds in ascending order of unread count. Clicking on the Down button will sort all feeds in descending order of unread count. Subfolders are respected, in that sorting will occur within the folder itself and feeds will not be moved outside their parent folder.
Only folders with unread item counts will be sorted by the script.
Great script. i was wondering if you can port Super Google Reader script for chrome to firefox.
it main feature are- Full feed content per-feed and Readable content using readability code.

Well, that does look like a nice full-featured script. Have you asked the author about porting the script to Firefox? He or she would probably be able to do it most efficiently, since much of their original code should port without significant change.
Also, I am a little leery of directly copying an existing extension’s functionality unless and until the extension’s author has already stated that they won’t do a port themselves.
If you’ve already been in contact with the author and he or she has declined, then I’ll take another look at what needs to be done.
many people as requested for this script with the author. the author has it ported for firefox (http://www.supergooglereader.com/gm.html) but it doesn’t work exactingly as chrome. All it does is get full page inline it doesn’t have readability and full feed function.
Please have a look at the existing firefox script.
OK, I’ve looked over the Greasemonkey scripts. They are both fairly large and complex. I suspect duplicating full functionality of the Chrome extension in one Greasemonkey script would be a matter of several days work.
Unfortunately, I don’t currently have several days to dedicate to working on a script, so I’ll have to pass on this one for now. If I have time in the next week or two, I’ll take another look and see if still looks to be as large an undertaking as it seems right now, or if it’s reasonably doable in my available time.
thanks, appreciate your time.
Love it!
thanks so much for the google reader sort subs script. i love it. now my life is complete!
