For example, case in point: Kiara's was already down to 496 on the first datamine, so she only sold (496 - 232 = 264) items between first update to current no.
On the other hand, Bae had as many as 918 in stock on first update - which indicated that brrats didn't buy that much initially (since I doubt there is any significant difference between Bae and Kiara's initial stocks). Between that and current, though, she sold (918-485 = 433) pieces
Sorting by the difference between first datamined stock and current will give the impression that Bae is doing much better than Kiara while actually, Kiara's merch likely sold better. Kiara is pretty much "punished" this way because her fans went ahead and grabbed the merch too early, no?
