By highest position against latest position

Where a name that once reached the top 100 stood in the most recent year any registrar ranked it.

Two recorded positions, side by side — nothing about what happened between them. A position outside a published list's range simply stops being printed, so a weaker latest position means the record thinned, never that a name was abandoned, replaced or rejected. Every name here is still ranked somewhere in the 2020s, so the comparison is with a recent year rather than with wherever a record happens to stop.
