Ranking methods
Ranking methods are systematic ways to order or prioritize items based on specific criteria. They evaluate each item’s characteristics—such as quality, relevance, or performance—and assign scores or positions accordingly. Common methods include rating items and then sorting them from best to worst, or using algorithms that weigh different factors. These techniques are used in search engines, competitions, and decision-making to present the most relevant or valuable options at the top, making it easier to identify the best choices efficiently.
