Ranking
Ranking is the process of positioning items such as individuals, groups or businesses on an ordinal scale in relation to others. A list arranged in this way is said to be in rank order.
A ranking can be obtained by evaluating each item in the collection in such a way that any two items can then be compared to see which should come higher in the ranking. In mathematical terms, this is known as a of objects. It is not necessarily a total order of objects because two different objects can have the same ranking. The rankings themselves are totally ordered. For example, materials are totally preordered by hardness, while degrees of hardness are totally ordered.
