[android-developers] Re: What is the sorting order on Android Market?

There is no sorting order as it appears that companies can "buy" a
good place in the order.

The current #1 Financial App has debuted in the #1 spot. That would
never happen with no reviews and no downloads for any other "no name"
app from an independent developer. But since it's an app from a well
known player in the field, it appeared as #1 and it has stayed there.
Curious if the playing field is even -- it certainly doesn't appear to
be.
