Highest-volume question first in each help collection
Put the most asked question at the top of each support collection so the page answers the likeliest job before the visitor has to scan the rest.
Why this can grow a startup
Collection order is usually treated like housekeeping, but it changes how quickly a reader feels oriented. Leading with the most requested answer shortens the path to resolution and teaches the user that the archive understands their priorities. It also gives support teams a simple way to turn article-performance data into a better first impression.
Company example
Intercom recommends placing the most important or most valuable article first in a collection and suggests checking article performance if you are unsure which one matters most.
