How projects are ranked

Most wanted counts currently active, eligible votes. Equal totals are ordered by newer publication date, then a stable listing identifier.

Trending counts active votes first cast for a project in the last 30 days. Removing and restoring a vote does not refresh that date. Ties use total active votes, then newer publication date and a stable listing identifier.
