The table lists for each of 25 countries (A–Y) the ranking the country had in 2005 and the ranking it had in 2012 based on the number of personal computers sold per 100 people in the country in those years. For example, the greatest number of personal computers sold per 100 people was in Country V in 2005 and in Country D in 2012. Country A lost five places in the rankings from 2005 to 2012 in going from a ranking of 6 in 2005 to a ranking of 11 in 2012, whereas Country H gained 4 places in the rankings in going from a ranking of 14 in 2005 to a ranking of 10 in 2012. None of the 25 countries had the same ranking in 2012 as in 2005.

(Sort ↕ the table by clicking on the headers)

For each of the following countries, select Gained if that country gained at least one place in the rankings from 2005 to 2012. Otherwise, select Lost.

One of the rare cases where I think we don't even need the sorting function.

Even if one has to sort the best way to sort is by country, so we will have alphabetically K,L,M together at one place and much quicker to get to the answer.

Just look at K,L, and M side by side they have both the rankings and can be easily be deducted if they gained or lost at least 1 position.
