Order workshop addons by file size

We can order them by date of creation and by alphabetical. But why not being able to order them by how much they weight? in case you would like to get rid of fake empty addons easier that have nothing or to get rid of very heavy addons that you dont need this would be a good idea. After all the workshop addons already have a public listed size in the addon info.

THIS

Also I would add a new filter option for Library sorting (Sort by filesize + workshop) so we can see the base game file size and the file size taking into account all subscribed workshop files.

Pretty ridiculous that right now the only way to do this is to go through the files to the workshop folder and then figure out which one of the randomly numbered folders corresponds to which game

Incredible! Someone agrees with me!

i will agree i believe there should be more filtering options, sometimes the search function feels lacklustre when it comes to filtering and sorting.

Also "Manage DLC" should show you the size of the DLC in the window...

this is basic stuff Steam come on

they specifically stated "workshop addons" in the title and several times in the post, nothing to do with DLC.

ah, now i see what you mean, my bad.
it used to be very easy in the List View library before the library ui update to even find the disk size of games and sort them by the sizes. not only is it basic Steam stuff, it's one of the most basic filters of any platform you can sort items. there's absolutely no reason to not have this option.
