Will using RANKED BY LOWEST/HIGHEST to sort data always produce the same results as it would have using BY LOWEST/HIGHEST?

I recently inherited (many) FEX's from a former coworker. I am vaguely familiar with what RANKED BY does, but have rarely used it. My coworker, however, never used "BY LOWEST/HIGHEST" to sort within his FEXs, and instead always used RANKED BY LOWEST/HIGHEST to sort.

My inclination is this probably doesn't create any issues/still sorts the data ascending/descending. But, I want to be certain.

Thank you!

According to this documentation, https://infocenter.information...urce%2FBY_TOTAL.htm,
RANKED adds a column to the report in which a rank number is assigned to each aggregated sort value in the report output. If multiple rows have the same ranking, the rank number only appears in the first row.
