It is quite easy to move the data from Sherwood's list to excel and sort by a different parameter. Actually if memory serves when I did that I had to edit some of the cells to get the sorts right but nonetheless...

What other headings would one want to sort by? Noise floor would seem to apply to a lot of uses by a lot of hams and swl's, Local Oscillator Noise maybe but probably that would apply to the DX'er in a pileup, Front End Selectivity is important to every situation seemingly...

20-30 years ago the emphasis was on Blocking Dynamic Range and a value around 130db was good, 120 really so-so. Among the top in the Sherwood List, some have a value around 120. Choosing among the top list rigs makes sense for the CW contester that aims to win a contest. However, I truly think that the best contesters with a rig listed in the bottom  would still compete for a podium.
