Image order when sorting by score with a tag filter is indeterminate

Jan 24, 2022 - permalink

Consider page 800 of an all-time search ordered by score filtered for the tag 'abs':

https://www.girlswithmuscle.com/images/800/?o...

At the time of writing all images in this page of results have a score of 41.

Refresh the page and observe that the order of results totally changes.

I believe that when sorting by score with an additional filter applied, there is no secondary sort order (e.g. by posting date), so the order is randomised every time. This means that when scrolling through pages of results, as you get to later pages with highly-duplicated score counts, you're very likely to miss lots of images and see lots of duplicates page-by-page.

This doesn't happen when sorting by score with no additional filter, so I believe that a secondary ordering criterion is applied in that case.
