In Brazil, there is an increasing adoption of the English term 'ranking' in business Portuguese, so you may hear 'ranking de prioridades' used interchangeably with the more traditional 'classificação de prioridades.' This reflects the influence of English-language business practices in multinational companies operating in Brazil.
