Leaderboard minimum rank

In the following best time leaderboard, I choose Minimum (always use the lowest value) as Aggregation method.

Then the minimum should be rank 0, right? Why the maximum is the rank 0?

I tried to edit the leaderboard and play around the other Aggregation method options, it doesn't change anything. Did I miss anything?

The minimum aggregation method doesn’t mean the position is sorted in ascending order and in fact, it only determines the value changing behavior of a player. The minimum aggregation will only allow player’s to update their statistics with a lower value. You may consider it as the time of finishing a race game.

However, the leaderboard doesn’t support sorting in ascending order. You may either vote in this Feature Request Add the ability to return a leaderboard in ascending order instead of descending. - Playfab Community. For most of the developers, they will simply use the number’s negative opposite for ranking at the leaderboard.

The top feature request is from 2017, almost 4 years old and the order by descending has been brought up since 5 or so years ago.

If PlayFab is good enough for you as it is then great,.. if not, then don't hold your breath, you're better off finding another service.
