I think I didnt explain it clearly.. let me make it clear.. 1. The database we are using is having BooleanField for it!! so, cant do anything 2. I am not looking for sorting algorithms .. just simple math :) It sounds crazy but let me describe my confusion lets have 3 users with [null, null, null] reputation = 0 [T, - - ] rept = 1 [T T T] rept = 3 [T T F] rept = 1 (its jumping from 3 to 1 -->but generally, we observe only decrease in 1 right?) [T T F] rept = 3 (its jumping from 1 to 3) These jumpings are common? or my logic is going any wrong?
