Don't get me wrong, there are indeed cases where sorting by faction size are happening, but it is by no means universal, so I'm just posting things that show otherwise. So I don't think the absolute value sort order should be implemented, it would only serve to give hints about faction values.

I'll try and map out the order everything appears and see if there is any kind of connection. Will probably take a long time.
