I do not believe it is actually popularity it sorts by. Is it most views in last 30 days or what determines popularity? I think zazzle should have a drop down for most bought because if you do it by most views there could be bots or click banks artificially manipulating views.

We'll never find out the secret of popularity within Z's algorithm. Mine makes no sense and it changes depending on which browser you use and whether you are logged in or logged out (I'm talking about store front popularity here)

For the back end popularity sort - (which doesn't match with the store front popularity because reasons?) again - that's set by zazzle and is not necessarily the most viewed/sold/liked - we'll never know)

You can search in the back end for most products sold (QTY Sold - most to least) - which is in a sense = the most products bought by customers and you can break that down by sold in last week/month) but that data all depends if the indexing is up to date as currently - last sold date hasn't been updated for a couple of days so YMMV

I don’t even bother with it. It makes no sense to me.
