Higher/lower rank in ranking system

Hi! I have an issue regarding influence of setting higher and lower ranking values in composite and in stock factor.
Let’s say in this example I’m evaluating FCFYield. I set rules for ranking as follows:

and the results I get:

So whent I set composite for lower values and stock factor for higher, I would expect similar results, but something different happens:

Why those two differ?

Thank you

It’s due to the treatment of NA values. In the first example, all the NAs are going into the leftmost buckets. In the second, they’re going into the rightmost buckets. If you use Percentile NAs Neutral, there should be little difference between the two.
