Voting system question

Hello, first off, your plugin works really well and I love it. My question though is about the rating system. If I display the ratings highest to lowest (get_highest_rated_category(13, ‘post’, 0, 15)) the ratings work okay.

The problem I’m encountering is that when someone votes any post with a rating of 5, it automatically bubbles up to the highest rated post. When there could be other posts with many votes, but maybe a total average rating of 4.5 for example. How do you add weight to the ratings so that posts with let’s say only one vote, with a rating of 5, don’t rate higher than let’s say a post with 10 votes, with a rating of 4.5?

I hope I’m explaining this okay. It just seems to be a bit unfair when posts get only one vote of 5, and there are other posts with many other votes with a slightly lesser value.

Thanks, David.
