I am liking your site quite a bit, the main thing that stops me from using it more than the other major sites....... Lack of "sort by".

I use "sort by rating" quite a bit. Many times I do wish to be adventurous and try a recipe that only has a few ratings, but many times I need a winner on short notice and when I sort by rating and see a recipe that has 5 stars (and 200 reviews) I am pretty sure it will be good.

 For me the lack of it is kind of a deal breaker. Am I not seeing the feature?

We've got that on our feature implementation plan.  The site currently weights star rating heavily in its default sort order (along with other factors), so you're seeing a fairly close approximation of sort-by-star-rating already (highest to lowest).  Ultimately you'll have the ability to sort by different values, but this is a fairly performance-intensive operation on 170,000 recipes and we're still tuning it in the labs.
