# Award emoji
|
|
|
|
> - First [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/merge_requests/1825) in GitLab 8.2.
|
|
> - GitLab 9.0 [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/merge_requests/9570) the usage of native emoji if the platform
|
|
> supports them and falls back to images or CSS sprites. This change greatly
|
|
> improved award emoji performance overall.
|
|
|
|
When you're collaborating online, you get fewer opportunities for high-fives
|
|
and thumbs-ups. Emoji can be awarded to [issues](project/issues/index.md), [merge requests](project/merge_requests/index.md),
|
|
[snippets](snippets.md), and anywhere you can have a thread.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Award emoji make it much easier to give and receive feedback without a long
|
|
comment thread.
|
|
|
|
For information on the relevant API, see [Award Emoji API](../api/award_emoji.md).

## Sort issues and merge requests on vote count
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/merge_requests/2781) in GitLab 8.5.
|
|
|
|
You can quickly sort issues and merge requests by the number of votes they
|
|
have received. The sort options can be found in the dropdown menu as "Most
|
|
popular" and "Least popular".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The total number of votes is not summed up. An issue with 18 upvotes and 5
|
|
downvotes is considered more popular than an issue with 17 upvotes and no
|
|
downvotes.

|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/merge_requests/4291) in GitLab 8.9.
|
|
|
|
Award emoji can also be applied to individual comments when you want to
|
|

|
|
