I love it.
I'd love to see more options too (ie, inversed options: oldest, coldest, etc, perhaps just indicated with ↑ ↓ arrows).
Is it worth reconsidering the titles?
new | hot | top | insightful | fun
vs
date | hotness | popularity | insightfulness | fun

"New" and "Date" mean the same thing with little to no difference in our context, so I think either one is fine.
"Hot" is already sending the message and it is shorter than "hotness" so it is better to stick to "Hot".
Top/Popular - Some more words we could consider- Votes, Points, Favored, Boosted
"Insightful" is shorter and gets the message across so I think it is better for it to stay.

Shorter is better except "date" imo. I like "points" and "favoured".
I'd be even happier with icons.

Yeah, "Points" feels most accurate because it literally means what it is supposed to mean.
Icons would be cool; they convey the message with minimum use of expression.
I made a sample design for the sorting icons: https://imgur.com/OVnrvR4
PS: I don't have commercial license for the software to make them for actual usage.

Those are fantastic!
Maybe /u/magnora7 and /u/d3rr would like them.
If we can't find usable icons to use I can emulate those icons and build them as SVGs so they scale everywhere, like in mobile mode, and maybe in future preferences folks can set their size, colours, etc.

Thank you. I tried to add color but I could not think of a palette that suits each and all of them while not attracting too much attention to them; and maintain decent overall look of the page.
