 It would be awesome if you could pass an ordering parameter to
 plugins_api() that would allow you to return a list of filtered plugins in
 a specific order.

 I'd love to be able to use the API to return a list of the most popular /
 newest / recently updated plugins on the repo that contain the tag
 "buddypress".

 Something like this would be awesome:

 {{{
 $plugins = plugins_api( 'query_plugins', array( 'tag' => 'buddypress',
 'page' => 1, 'order' => 'popular' );
 }}}

 Even better, also allow search filtering:

 {{{
 $plugins = plugins_api( 'query_plugins', array( 'tag' => 'buddypress',
 'search' => 'album', 'page' => 1, 'order' => 'popular' );
 }}}

 I'd be happy to implement this if I can get access to the API source on
 WordPress.org.
