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 …

`redirect_uri` is not under the registered domain for this application

I don't know about that Ruby/Gem, but your app registration is not correct. You need to configure your app for explicit OAuth2, per this other answer, except enter localhost instead of example.com. …

OAuth redirect_uri to https://stackexchange.com/oauth/login_success?xxx strips part of the q...

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. Use the state parameter. And this works. For exa …

Is there a SQL-like query for the API?

Can I make a Private Application?

Not only is that possible, but we do it all the time. No one can see the apps you register at stackapps.com/apps/oauth/register except you (and the SE devs). If you don't need OAuth, then you can …

This is what the /apps/{accessTokens}/de-authenticate route does. Passing valid access_tokens to this method causes the application that created them to be de-authorized by the user associated wit …
