In my free time, I enjoy browsing through homebrew to see what things people make, but while I was looking through Artificer subclasses I noticed something weird. Although I was sorting by the number of times people added the subclass to their collections, the list was barely sorted at all.
I see what's going on. It is actually sorting by adds - and it is displaying the number of adds too. The problem you're seeing is that the number of "Adds" displayed is not the number it is using to sort - but they are both technically correct.
You see - homebrews can have multiple versions - and a piece of homebrew that has many versions will usually have 1 Add per version (the author). It is this total accumulated Adds that the "Adds" column displays. What it sorts by however is the number of Adds of the latest version only. So it could have 10 versions - each with 1 Add - so it displays 10 Adds but it's sorting with 1.

Unfortunately I can't show a screenshot, but as of writing this, the error is most apparent using this link https://www.dndbeyond.com/homebrew/subclasses?filter-name=&filter-author=&filter-author-previous=&filter-author-symbol=&filter-parent-class=252717&filter-rating=-29&sort=adds. It starts off normal, but the longer you scroll the weirder it gets. Obviously this isn't that pressing of an issue, but it would be nice to get an accurate representation of what people have added most.
