Updated Ranking Algorithm

Playing around with the Drupal Views module a while, I think I've finally come to a better ranking method for the 'Most Popular' section on this website...

Instead of the old way, which was:

  1. Filter by number of votes cast, then
  2. Filter by the average value of a vote.

I've tweaked the filter to go by:

  1. Saint must have more than four votes.
  2. Filter by average value of a vote, then
  3. Filter by number of votes cast.

I wish I could do some sort of weighting to the sorting rules above, so certain saint images, which have tons of votes, and are at a value of 4.8 rather than 4.9, would display before a saint image that has only a few votes but is positioned at 4.9 or 5.

We shall see... for now, check out the updated listing on the Most Popular LOLSaints of All Time page!
