The developmental version adds some new filters to sort by newest follows and oldest follows, but not popular:
https://github.com/r-a-y/buddypress-followers/archive/master.zip
I might add a “Popular” filter down the road.
If sorting may not be possible for now, would there be any way to get members with following/followers to simply show even randomly under Popular?
I understand buddypress uses bp_member_total_friend_count() in buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-widgets.php to show popular members. (http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/who-are-popular-members-in-buddypress)
Any idea how this could be hacked to use the existing bp_follow_total_follow_counts?
This may be a quick fix.
Any updates on this? I’m trying to replace bp_member_total_friend_count() with bp_follow_total_follow_counts also to get popular member sorting to work. No luck so far.

Ordering by popularity is difficult at the moment since each user follow count is not saved as an individual value in the database.
A script would need to be created to calculate each follow count and then that value would need to be saved in user meta. That’s the main hang-up.
No ETA for this.
