ranking

Ranking is a way to order or arrange items based on specific criteria such as importance, quality, or relevance. Think of it as putting things in a list where the top spot is considered the best or most desirable, and the others follow in decreasing order. For example, in sports, teams are ranked based on their wins and losses; in search engines, web pages are ranked based on relevance to your query. Ranking helps us understand relative standing, making it easier to compare and identify the best options or most significant items within a set.
