Head to head
Ranks are only compared within one published list and one year. Two ranks from different years, from a boys' and a girls' list, or from different registrars are not comparable, so they are not placed side by side.

Trond and Vemund over time
Trond and Vemund appear together in 1 published list, across 51 years of shared records. Trond held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Vemund 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.
Trond reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Vemund in none. Each position is a place inside its own list, so this compares when they peaked and never how high.
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.
