I agree that scaled sort is not working ideally right now. However the issues you linked were opened before the feature was released, so they are not relevant anymore. You are definitely welcome to open a new issue about improving the implementation. The scaled sort logic is here, if you have any concrete suggestions how to improve it thats even better. And I would rather improve this existing functionality to make it work as expected, before tacking on an entirely new feature which may or may not work.
