The results are ordered according to the number of votes received, and in the case of containers that is a high of 27 and a low of 1.
The photos that received no votes are not displayed.
So, the first few pages are photos that received multiple votes and the last however-many pages are photos that received a single vote. Vote numbers after fifth place are not publicized so there is no way to know when the two-vote photos end and the single-vote photos begin.
Photos that have the same number of votes are displayed in random order.
With all of the single-vote photos in random order, essentially tied for "last place" if you will, it can certainly give the impression that a bucket ranked higher than a propane tank that ranked higher than a container with plants in it, when they may have ranked exactly the same.

Thanks for posting this. Though I didn't know for sure, this is as how I thought it probably worked. I am no photographer (yet anyway - have been reading up at the photography forum but generally too busy in summer to put much into practice with flowers outdoors and such), and only submitted two photos just because I liked them. My photos can't compare with those posted.
