Is there any way or script to sort questions/posts/answers with custom criteria?
You can filter (not sort) questions (and to some extent answers) by using the /search/advanced route of the API.
The q parameter allows most of the Advanced Search Options.
For example, this will fe …

What happened to the links to a Stack App mentioned in the documentation about write access?
This is a documentation bug in my opinion. The "via Example App" was never included, nor should it be.
A user is fully responsible for his or her content, it doesn't, and shouldn't, matter how that …

How to register a Stack App with explicit OAuth 2.0 flow to a third party site?
Note that a URI is not a domain, but this seems to be a common mistake when setting up OAuth2.

I don't know about that Ruby/Gem, but your app registration is not correct.

I don't think that's a bug, for implicit OAuth. Anyway, if I understand RFC 6749 correctly, that is not how you are supposed to do such extra checks.
