There are already new "modern only" things you can show on your list like pictures or even the studios. Why can't we show the MAL score for anime on our lists as well? Mangaupdates already has this feature.

It would actually be pretty useful for people with large PTWs and would help a lot of people prioritize what they want to watch. Way more people would use it than they would the ability to show licensors, which already exists.

Sorry for bad English
You can do one thing but it will ruin your mean score if it is important for you and it's also tiresome

Rate every anime on your PTW list the same score (for example 7 or if you want to be more comfortable rate them 10); Don't worry it won't effect the MAL mean score only effects your mean score
Then go to your MALGraph profile and anime list. Use plan to watch filter instead of all and then sort by difference (last column)

+1 to that one. It's one of the features I missed a lot when I first moved to MAL. Tho in my case it's more useful on completed list to comapre average scores with mine.

Oh yeah, tha't exactly how I'd want it to look. But I'm afraid using script is a no-go for me: I use way too many devices and multiple browsers. I don't need this fearute that much to bother ^^'

How do you do that?

That was via a userscript. Last time I checked, it doesn't really work properly cuz it doesn't seem to load on all the entries.
If you want it, I'm happy to share the link once I find it.

I want this as well (i.e. sorting by average score and number of users). Asked about it a couple months ago as well:

https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1773617

But forum users keep defending MAL as it is instead of agreeing a few more options to sort our lists wouldn't hurt anyone and would make some users like us very happy.

So I started working on something. Its basically your anime/manga list but with more options to sort. Uses Jikan API. But I keep procrastinating. If I get something up and running, will post here.

Thanks for the link, I've been looking for something like that for a while.
it seems consistent that it marks the score of the first 90 entries in the list somewhat well and then the rest are up to god to decide.

I didn't write the script so unfortunately I have no idea how to fix it without taking a really close look at how it actually works.

Anyone that finds this later. Seems that the script is broken in a few places. Fixed and made a discussion of the changes.

I wonder if there is any chance this will be added since it seems way less useful list functions are being introduced lately.

go to greasyfork.org there's a script there that does add the average score of the entry to your list

you can also do this with CSS like with my anime/manga list, though it would require an API like Squashbucklr 's list to enable sorting, but would work on every device (on desktop mode) and without any user needing to install anything.

@hacker09 it's a little difficult to explain, but with my list just displaying the MAL scores is easy using my MAL Scraper https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1938559 to create the CSS with scores from MAL and anime/manga id's from your lists and then just using some code to place it where you want depending on what theme you use or default modern layout, ppl can always join @Shishio-kun club for help on this. Shishio's Custom Lists & Profiles

but if you look at @Squashbucklr list https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Squashbucklr?status=7&order=4&order2=0 you can see he can sort his list using personalized decimal score's using an API that generates the CSS for him plus Rewatch Value and the Priority/Comment fields, so the same method could be used for average scores or any MAL Stat for that matter given you know how to create your own API. he explains it a little bit here, but it would require some doing and would probably be better to wait until he finishes the generator or someone to make one for MAL scores, synopsis, ranks, covers (if yet another malscaper site goes down), etc and other things we're currently having to update manually ourselves.
My list uses accurate decimal scores
Unlike other lists with decimals, when you sort by score on my list, the order follows the decimals. Even within a decimal value, entries are sorted relative to each other, allowing my entire list to be sorted.

CSS is generated on the fly with an API!
No adjustment is needed to the CSS when I add more entries to my list, or when changing decimal scores. Every time the page loads, an API that I wrote generates the code that shows the decimal scores and changes the orders of the entries. The decimal scores themselves are stored within the actual MAL entries, so they can be edited without changing the CSS.

Anyone can use it!
The CSS generator is designed to be used by anybody. As long as you make the necessary adjustments to your base style, It should be as easy for anyone to use this as it is for me!

@ShaggyZE @hacker09

I have some early prototypes of the css generator that add stuff like the MAL score or the description. The benefit is that with an API generating your CSS like mine or that one that adds higher resolution covers, you don't have to update your user style when you add entries to your list.

I know, that's my point, it would be helpful for layout designers too because then they could add two lines of code for anime/manga like
@\import "https://3dbmhuid8h.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/auto/anime?template=/* [TITLE] *[DEL]/ .data.image a[href^="/anime/[ID]/"]:before{background-image:url([IMGURL]);} .chapter-[ID]:after {content: "MAL: [SCORE] RANK: [RANK] POPRANK: [POPRANK]";} #tags-[ID] ~ .retail:after {content: "SYNOPSIS\a \a [DESC]";}";
though some of that like spaces would need to be converted to %20 etc
and have it auto get their username from the referer url it's being called from and store the CSS file so it only generate once every 24 hours if it was requested that day with a cron job or something like https://malscraper.azurewebsites.net does for covers then either scraping the data from MAL's site or Jikan API, unfortunately I haven't learned how to make an API yet, but I did experiment with PHP which was too slow and made a Windows generator instead.

Wish they would implement this in the site itself.
Such a simple and easy change.
