I would love to be able to sort my own contributions by (Popular, New, Old, Controversial) the same way we can sort comments on a post. I'd also like Unpopular as a sort key there.

Basically, I use comment karma as a way of getting feedback on what people think is good and bad, but having to page through all of my comments looking for items with a high absolute value is awkward. The current arrangement seems to assume that comment karma scores don't vary much after a few days, and that just isn't true.

Less valuably but still interestingly, I'd like to be able to do the same with other people's contributions... e.g., find the most popular comments someone else has made.

I'd also like to be able to do this, especially for other people. When I'm checking someone's profile and wondering "who is this person?", being able to see their highest karma posts/comments would be a quick way to get some information about them.
