Both the old and new ranking are based on score values. The highest score get the lowest sbj_count, but sbj_names must be ordered next to each other (a a b b c c etc) with ascending hsp_count values. Thus, (sbj_count,sbjname, score,hsp_count) (1,d,1000,1) (1,d,400,2) (2,a,900,1) (2,a,500,2) (3,e,900,1) (3,e,500,2) (4,b,800,1) (5,c,700,1) (5,c,600,2) (5,c,500,3) (6,f,700,1) (7,g,600,1) Hope that helps...
