Amazon won’t sort by rating.
So we did.

A free browser extension that merges 15 pages of Amazon results into one list, sorts them best-rated first, and removes every sponsored listing.

The problem

Amazon's default sort is "Featured", which blends paid placement with relevance. The closest thing to a quality sort, Avg. Customer Review, ignores how many reviews sit behind a rating - so a 5.0★ product with three reviews outranks a 4.7★ product with fifty thousand.

Meanwhile a typical results page is roughly a third sponsored content: sponsored listings, brand carousels, video ad rows and "Shop the brand" blocks.

How the ranking works

The whole method is published, because a ranking you can't inspect isn't worth trusting.

1. Trust-adjusted rating - the biggest factor

Each product's star rating is blended with a neutral 4.2★ baseline weighted at 150 reviews - a Bayesian average. A 4.9★ with 1,500 reviews keeps almost its full 4.9. A 5.0★ with 12 reviews gets pulled down toward 4.26. That's why unproven "perfect" products don't automatically win.

2. Review depth

More ratings mean more certainty. Counted on a log scale, so 10,000 reviews isn't a hundred times better than 100 - just meaningfully better. Worth up to 6 points.

3. Recent demand

Amazon's "bought in past month" figure, also log-scaled, worth up to 4 points.

4. Caution flags are shown, not hidden

A near-perfect rating with under 100 reviews gets a visible note. Neutral statistical observations - a short review history means less certainty, nothing more.

5. Price never changes the ranking

Price is shown as context only. It has no term in the formula, so nothing ranks higher for costing more or paying a bigger commission.

Privacy

SortPicks collects nothing. No account, no analytics, no tracking, nothing sent to any server. The extension reads the Amazon page you're already on and, when Smart Sort is enabled, fetches further result pages from that same Amazon site using your existing session. Settings live in your browser's own extension storage.

The top-picks page receives your results in the URL's #fragment, which browsers never transmit to a server - the ranking is computed in your browser there too.

Questions

How do I sort Amazon search results by rating?

Install the extension, search on Amazon, open it and tick "Smart Sort". Results re-sort highest-rated first, weighted by how many reviews support each rating.

How do I hide sponsored products on Amazon?

Tick "Hide Sponsored Ads". It removes sponsored listings and the ad blocks around them on every Amazon marketplace.

Why doesn't a 5★ product always rank first?

Because a rating is only as good as the reviews behind it. A 5.0★ with 12 reviews is weaker evidence than a 4.8★ with 12,000, and the ranking reflects that.

How long does Smart Sort take?

About 20-35 seconds to gather 15 pages. A progress bar shows where it is, and the list re-sorts itself when it finishes.

Is it really free?

Yes. No paid tier, no account, no trial.
