I am really thrilled that this Idea Exchange platform has been created, especially since some of the ideas have already been marked as 'Implemented'. But, unfortunately, is has turned out to be quite hard for local guides to keep track of what is going on in Idea Exchange (I hope it is easier for the Googlers as they have to follow up and judge the ideas).
The explanation at the top of the Idea Exchange section mentions "the community votes" and "popular ideas rise to the top", so I would certainly not want to miss good new suggestions, because I of course want to vote for them - and obviously I would like other local guides to easily come across the ideas I have posted [which obviously all deserve loads of votes 🤣]. But it is quite tough to figure out which ideas have recently been added: per sub-section (Google Map, Connect, Perks, etc) the board shows the 3 most recently submitted ideas (without indication of when they were submitted), which is fine as such, but does not bring any value if someone just added 3 spammy posts in one of the categories (as was the case earlier today).
Upon accessing the total list of Ideas per sub-section (by clicking See more), however, it is completely unclear in which order the posts are shown - and also there: no indication when the idea was submitted (if a comment is added, this comment does get a timestamp). To go through the list, you have to click More every few posts and quite surprisingly: posts that were in the list higher up tend to appear again as you scroll further down.
So, my question: please reconsider the navigation/searchability options for Idea Exchange, preferably by providing sorting features (sort by most votes, most recent, etc) and a timestamp.
