Yeah I'd agree. There's like 4 reasonable ways to sort this (female expectancy, male expectancy, difference, or alphabetical) and difference seems like the most obvious given the reason these were separated out. Even if it's a bit uglier.

My thoughts exactly, or the title should indicate the ranking

War-torn and alcoholic? Join us in the top 20.

Not nearly as many war-torn countries in there as there are communist / former-communist countries.

The ranking makes No sense. Why isnt the largest gap on top?

Agreed. Very odd to organize it by average female lifespan when that’s not what is being compared

Still, it's fairly easy to decipher and allows for additional analysis of the same data set (while of course hindering the analysis one might have expected originally given the title)

Ordering makes sense to me, thanks OP

It is interesting why feminists talk about the wage gap a lot, but not the lifespan gap. Can't think why...

Newsflash: people in general (not just women) say things to advance their selfish causes

Newsflash, yes, I know, but this is a sex-based plot and feminism is supposed to be about equality of the sexes.
As an aside, I don't think I've heard someone say newsflash since those sassy teens in 90s TV shows.

If it is including the most significant differences then it should be ranked in that order
