As title says, is it any way ( via settings or hooks ) to have a specific forum ordered by quantity of votes ( and eventually "thanks" ) , as default order ?

I would tentatively say, and this really is very tentative, that yes it could be done. I would need to spend time trying ti out to see how it might work.
But - and it is a most important but - it would probably be horrendously slow. Items like 'quantity of votes' are calculated when needed - they are not stored anywhere. So for each topic you would have to join in new data to the sql query and then calculate results one topic at a time. That is nasty and expensive.

If you are really interested in doing it as a custom plugin, please let us know and we can work up a quote... might could even offer multiple ways to sort your forum based on user actions... but as Andy says, would have to research...

Yes would be nice to have a plugin for it!
However i need a fast solution through hooks or code changing for now if is it possible since i need to create a "feedback system" understanding which is the most voted topics for that specific forum.
I need an help.
Thank you all.

we can point in the right direction, but its a detailed customization beyond what we can do in the support forum...
so assuming you mean topic view (list of forum posts), then you can look at sp-topic-view-class.php...
you will need to filter the db query via the hook 'sph_topicview_query' and adjust it as you desire...
then you 'may' need to filter the results and adjust if required by your db query changes... those would be 'sph_topicview_topic_record' and 'sph_topicview_post_records' and 'sph_topicview_combined_data'.... though cannot say for sure without your db query changes...
