Can we sort by Metacritc rating yet?

See this mentioned on older posts. I go mainly by metacritic ratings, and would like to sort my personal lists of 2000+ movies which are a replica of my owned movies, by metacritic rating high to low.

Well if you had a list of 500 titles, and 200 had no metacritic info, and you chose to rank it by metacritic rating, it would make sense for it to order the list from high metacrtic rating to low, then thereafter all 200 remaining titles with no metacritic rating. Anyone choosing to sort by metacritic rating, will understand that this is how it will need to order them. And since my lists are 99% metacritic rating it doesn't affect me at all. This feature should be easy to implement, since they incorporate metacritic into the website already.

That's you're opinion. Majority of mainstream releases have metacritic ratings, hence it is built into imdb, and having one extra filter sort option in the menu, wouldn't be a major inconvenience to those that don't want to sort by it. And if you are choosing to sort by metacritic rating, that means that metric is important to you, so again, the 200 titles at the bottom, is exactly how one would want it when sorting by metacritic rating high to low.

alright well I want it, that's why I made this post. If you don't, you don't need comment here.

I would like to hear from the rest of the majority, you've given you're opinion, and I disagree strongly, so there's nothing left to discuss between us two.

It would be like sorting my list by my own rating, when I have titles on the list which I have not rated. Useful in a limited way. But potentially useful.

In my case, I have a several lists that total over 3K movies, I have seen maybe 1K of them so that's 2000 unwatched movies, being able to sort those 2K movies based on metacritic rating would help me prioritize  what to watch. I understand some people might get offended that I prefer metacritic rating to imdb rating, but a user rating is just one aspect of the movie reviews, and being able to sort by critic rating is just as important, I think. Metacritc is far superior to rotten tomatoes, hence even imdb has incorporated it.

So I was just looking at movies that were released in 2015, and out of curiosity decided to sort by imdb rating, and found it was completely useless, giving me a list of movies with high ratings of 9 based of 5-10 votes each!
