Should sort by "controversial" and "most comments" include a time range?

When browsing larger communities or the "all" feed, it would make sense to sort by "controversial" or "most comments", but with the time selector of top (1,3,6 hours...).

Am I the only one missing this sort option? I couldn't find any feature request regarding this aspect of sorting, please forgive me if I missed something.

Yes, they are pretty useless as they are now.

Here’s the relevant issue on the GitHub repo: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4340
- Thank you. It seems that this is much more complicated than what I thought.
  
  I suppose the solution is quite controversial

I was just about to ask something similar. Controversial sorting within a community is clearly broken in its current state. You'll only see ancient posts unless the community is tiny.
- I'd say it works as designed. It shows the most controversial posts.
  The design is IMO flawed
