Ross11mm on "Sort Posts by Views"

I am currently using WordPress Popular Posts which displays top posts by views in a widget. But I am trying to sort the posts on my homepage by the most views in a certain period, i.e. sort posts by the most views in the last week. I am unable to find a suitable plugin although it seems like a fairly simple task to perform but alas I'm unable to find out how to do this. I have a very basic knowledge of PHP and wordpress and am happy to edit code if somene can help me out. I'm currently developing my site locally and using a child theme.
Thanks,
Ross
