Morphology
The meaning 'an arrangement according to relative rank' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'rank' (level or position) with 'order' (sequence or arrangement). This noun-noun composition follows a common and predictable pattern (ordering by a specified criterion) that a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer, and similar constructions exist across many languages.
Etymology
Rank order comes from the clear image of soldiers or people lined up by their rank, so there is a strict order from highest to lowest. So, it means putting people or things in a list by 'importance' or 'position'.
