Sorting posts in a subreddit
Posts in a subreddit can be sorted by any of Reddit's available sorting methods ('top', 'new', 'hot', 'rising' & 'controversial'). All you have to do is type the subreddit's name, followed by the name of the sorting method.

Wikis and Imgur albums

Similarly, any subreddit which accepts picture submissions will have an associated Imgur album. These albums can be accessed by typing the subreddit's name, followed by 'img'.
