Sort highly-voted self-answers at the top

Question

I know that accepted self-answers are not sorted at the top of the page to prevent cheating, but I think that if the answer is voted highly enough, it should be displayed at the top. For example, this highly voted, accepted self-answer was perfect for what I needed, but I almost didn't see it because, even though it had a score of >100, it was at the bottom of the page, buried below two answers that were each <10.

Can't we make an exception for highly-scored, accepted self-answers like these, and allow them to sort at the top?

Answer 1

No, self-answers are sorted according to the current sorting order instead.

Normally the accepted answer is pinned at the top, and although self-answers are not given that privilege, they are still sorted normally. They are not delegated to the bottom either!

When you sort that post by votes, the self-answer is right there at the top. In fact, only when you sort by 'active' is it listed at the bottom. Fix your sort choice instead.
