Include power consumption as a parameter in advance search? Or sort option by power consumption? Both?

First of all, love the site. It was obviously created with some passion, creativity, and incredible attention to detail. Thanks for making it available to us!

I was wondering if it would be possible, or how difficult it would be, to add a parameter to the advanced search function. Specifically, power consumption. Sometimes, when you're getting close to a full rack, you might be pushing the limits of your power supply.

It would be really nice for example, if you were looking to add a module from a particular function category, but you wanted to put a max limit on the power consumption. Perhaps a sort option could be added to sort by power draw. Either option would be helpful; both would be even better.

Thanks for considering my suggestion.

Good idea. Considered!

+1 i just came here to use the "sort by power" feature and was disappointed to find it wasn't there. would be useful for someone making a diy power supply to see what modules wouldn't function on a low current rated supply, for example. please and thanks!

+1.
I just got a 1amp power supply to replace a broken one, but I am almost at 1 amp just with a couple digital modules and preamps with phantom power. I have to be very careful about power consumption in my planning for now, and it is pretty hard to figure out what I can or can't do just with the tools on the site.
