Optimally, equal top rankers should be sorted by time achieved, rather than alphabetically.
I doubt this is possible though, as I can't see why the highscores as they stand now would incorporate timestamps.
As people said, we haven't been tracking this for most of the time and still kinda aren't. Yes 2B XP achievements go in the bookcase but we can't use those achievements in the highscores. Every player would need to have timestamps for every skill or stat to indicate when it was last increased, which would pretty much double the size of the data. Then we'd have to rewrite the way stats are saved, because right now all stats are saved in 1 go. We'd have to start doing them one by one so we can check which ones have actually gone up and update the according timestamps. Then we can set about rewriting half of the highscores again and even then we'd end up with an imperfect system, since we can never ever provide the correct order for the past 8 years or so.
So yeah I think sorting the shared ranks alphabetically is the best we can do.
As for PKP, it's actually implemented but currently inaccessible as the jury is still out on whether or not we want it in the highscores.
