Is the sorting non-live?

I see items in the following order:

The criteria for whether a vote affects the score and whether it affects the ranking are slightly different. Votes from brand new accounts affect the score but not the ranking.

Handy.

'Recent' is used in a pretty loose way, though. Looks like anything in the last month is counted.
