Research direction
The contributor should locate the file where GitHub API requests are made (likely index.js or a lib file), modify the query to accept a 'sort' parameter with values 'updated' or 'stars', and update the CLI options to expose this choice. No existing PRs or comments provide further context. Check the GitHub API documentation for sorting options.
