Jordon and Roger appear together in 1 published list, across 29 years of shared records. Jordon held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Roger in 0.

The order between them changed and held in one of those lists — a change in that published list, never a claim that one name displaced the other.

Counted list by list. Two names in the same published list are measured on the same scale in the same year, so those comparisons are real — but positions from different lists are not, so nothing here is combined into an overall standing.
