How hard is it to add $sort by {rating-middle}?

As it is now, it's quite impossible because you can only sort by a column in the table. That means you can sort by votes or by total points. You can show rating-middle by calculating it (total points / number of votes). But you can't sort by it because it's not in the table.
But it should be possible to create a column "middle" in the table and to save the calculated value in that column. The script needs some modifications. Then you are able to sort by average rating.

Alright I follow you. So, how did you learn so much about how the database is organized in cutenews? Would I learn a lot by going in phpmyadmin and viewing how the tables and content are stored and organized? Is that what you did?

Well, using phpmyadmin is one way to check out the database structure. Another one is to look at install/db.php which creates the tables during the install process.
Generally, the best way to learn PHP is to understand this script and the plugins. Many of my plugins base on existing code taken from CuteNews.RU or any other PHP script. As soon as you understand what the code does you can copy and paste it and tweak it until it does what you want it to do. That's how I started about 2 years ago, and that's how I'm still working today.
I'm confident that if you understand about 50% of CuteNews.RU you are able to create your own plugins, hacks and mods.
