Retrieve most retweeted tweets for a given hashtag

Question

I\'d like to retrieve the tweets for given a hashtag and sort them from the most retweeted to the less retweeted.

The closest thing I\'ve found is using the search call

Answer 1

This isn't a programmatic method but rather works in the browser with a chrome extension (HackyBird) :

• Install the extension
• Search for a phrase e.g. #Social (twitter.com/search?q=%23Social)
• Click the extension to sort it (you can adjust the ratio of retweets/likes used for sorting in extension options).

P.S. It'll also sort your or any other user's timeline.
