Hi,
I run a quite old machine and I'd like to test the smallest models out there to see if I could have a minimal code/text fonctionality locally.
Unfortunately, the https://ollama.com/library does not provide means to "sort by size", nor even provides info about the size in the short description of the models for each and every model. Thus users need to open all models pages and read them, which is very tedious...

Could be tricky for models with versions in different size.
Looking at that explorer app linked, quen3 shows 1.4GB – 523MB which isn't even correct, that's smallest to largest numeric value ignoring MB vs GB, it's actually 523MB - 460GB.

Might want a "sort by smallest size" and "sort by largest size"
