# Award emojis
>**Note:**
This feature was [introduced][1825] in GitLab 8.2.
As a remote worker, you get fewer opportunities for high-fives and thumbs-ups.
In order to make virtual celebrations easier, you can now vote on issues and
merge requests using emoji!
![Award emoji](img/award_emoji_select.png)
This makes it much easier to give and receive feedback, without a long comment
thread. Any comment that contains only the thumbs up or down emojis is
converted to a vote and depicted in the emoji area.
You can then use that functionality to sort issues and merge requests based on
popularity.
## Sort issues and merge requests on vote count
>**Note:**
This feature was [introduced][2871] in GitLab 8.5.
You can quickly sort the issues or merge requests by the number of votes they
have received. The sort option can be found in the right dropdown menu.
![Votes sort options](img/award_emoji_votes_sort_options.png)
---
Sort by most popular issues/merge requests.
![Votes sort by most popular](img/award_emoji_votes_most_popular.png)
---
Sort by least popular issues/merge requests.
![Votes sort by least popular](img/award_emoji_votes_least_popular.png)
---
The number of upvotes and downvotes is not summed up. That means that an issue
with 18 upvotes and 5 downvotes is considered most popular than an issue with
17 upvotes and no downvotes.
