Google has modified the way Analytics works to allow users to adjust how items in reports are sorted. For example, if you look at your Analytics reports and see lots of entries with a 100% bounce rate, but only 1 visit, you know how annoying it is to have those mostly useless entries sit at the top of the reports. From Google:
We are pleased to announce a new sorting algorithm called weighted sort. Now when you sort on a computed metric, you can weight that sort by the number of data points, bringing you the most interesting and actionable rows first. For instance, in our example weighted sort will weight the computed value bounce rate by the number of visits.
Weighted sort is also available on other popular computed metrics, including goal conversion rate, % new visits etc. Try it out now on your own data! Take a look at the demo below to learn more or read the help article to get started.
