Hello!
This feature is not built into the plugin yet, but I will see if I can add it in a future version. Is there anything else that you would want to display in a sidebar widget other than the top 5 posts based on social score?
The social data is stored as custom post meta, so if you know how to write your own sidebar widgets then it is possible to write a query which selects the top posts based on social score. Here is how you would write the query:
$args = array(
'order' => 'DESC',
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'meta_key' => 'socialcount_TOTAL',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_type' => 'post'
);
$wp_query = new WP_Query( $args );
if ($wp_query->have_posts()) : while ($wp_query->have_posts()) :
$wp_query->the_post();
// DISPLAY POST HERE
endwhile;
endif;
More documentation on how to write custom functionality for this plugin can be found on the Github page here: https://github.com/chapmanu/wp-social-metrics-tracker
