Please help me understand why you want your proposed sort method implemented. I guess I don't understand why it should be if tons of evidence is found that shows it to be unreliable? To be clear, I agree that some quests / kills show the values in your proposed sort order, but you can't really ignore the cases that don't fit that, else it is just cherry picking the data.

If you found the same primary faction hit sorted in different orders I would begin to consider it again, but every single quest I've located has the order the same regardless of values. So same faction hits, but some may be sorted as 5, -1, 2, 1, 2 and a different quest is sorted the same but shows hits as 10, 3, 1, 1, 1.

I am indeed trying to keep it classic, if your method proved true then I would say go on and feed the Faction Lords/farmers.
