How the order is worked out
Each page is compared with each of the 5 core pages. The comparison adds up shared words in titles, headings and the first lines (45%), shared collection links (25%), shared collection groups (10%), shared linked pages (15%) and whether the pages sit in the same or an adjacent section (5%). The average over the core pages sets the order. Close match is an average of 0.22 or more, Related is 0.12 to 0.22, Loosely related is 0.10 to 0.12. The same rule, and the related pages for 197 of the 204 content pages on this site, are in a data file (JSON).
How this differs from Hanging and display guides: that page is one list of the guides on hanging. This page is an order across sections (guides, tools, glossary and size tables) worked out from shared words and links, so it can include pages that list does not.
