This only applies to my experiences on druid/bard. I think Rangers get other tracking features that Druids/Bards don't, but not sure... don't care.
If someone enters my tracking range (roughly anything out of visual range), tracking will report them 180 degree wrong direction. Within visual range it reports accuratly. Sometimes large zones and proximity to zonewall (not zoneline) can mess this up.
When the tracking adjusts to report the correct direction is a crap shoot, but honestly I've just not cared enough to figure out the mechanics. Works well enough most of the time when I actually need it.
The tracking order sorts by what spawned last in the zone (NPC) and who entered the zone last (Player). Helps to figure out if someone is in zone long time, where they might be, etc.
Nothing scientific, just how I have adjusted to the broken system.
