Abstract: Systems and methods for sorting data are disclosed. In some implementations, a method of sorting a set of data includes, at a computing device including one or more processors and memory, formatting the set of data for display using a first data column and a second data column. The first data column includes a first plurality of values; the first plurality of values is user-visible; the second data column includes a second plurality of values; and the second plurality of values is also user-visible. In some implementations, the method further includes, causing the set of data to be displayed in a sort order in accordance with a third plurality of sort parameters. The third plurality of sort parameters is calculated in accordance with (i) the first plurality of data values and (ii) the second plurality of data column; and the third plurality of sort parameter is user-invisible.

Abstract: A method and system for sorting a table based on a column containing fractions. In the table, a first column representing values of a first parameter, a second column representing values of a second parameter, and a third column representing values of a third parameter defined as the ratio of the second parameter to the first parameter are identified. Then, a fourth column representing values of a fourth parameter is generated. The fourth column has a relation to the third parameter that is defined in terms of a weighted sum of the values of the third parameter and an average value associated with the values of the third parameter using a weight function defined as a monotonically decreasing function of the values of the first parameter. The table is sorted in ascending or descending order the rows of the table based on the values of the fourth parameter.
