The Oct 15 patch changed Priest talents so the list only counts the 16,906 builds made since then.
Builds a few points apart count as one and the order comes from how often people make, share, save and open them. It's all recounted a few times a day.

Show all ranks

talent tag = an ability a talent grants. It shows in your book once you take the talent.

Small numbers under a spell are the level each rank is learned at.

Numbers are the beta client's at level 60 with no gear on, so your in-game tooltip will read a bit higher. Show all ranks works like the checkbox in the game's book. The General tab is kept by hand; each tooltip there says where it was read.
