'der Rang' and 'das Ranking' both have to do with an order based on performance, value, or position. 'Rang' usually means the individual position in a hierarchy or list. 'Ranking' often means the whole ranked list or the evaluation that produces the placement. The words can be confused because you have a 'Rang' within a 'Ranking'. In practical terms: a person or thing has a 'Rang', but a 'Ranking' shows several ranks in comparison.
