My own misinterpretation, I see on reread, though the OP’s scheme strikes me as unnecessarily confusing. Using his approach, where the first digit is the relative rank of the first film in the series (as opposed to be the number of the film I consider the best in the series), I’d rank the first three _Star Trek_ films as:

312 (previously given as 231, indicating I thought _TWoK_ was “first in the quality line”, followed by _TSfS_ and _TMP_)

…and the first six films:

514263

As for a 231 by the OP’s standard… I propose the first three (official) James Bond films, such that _Goldfinger_ is better than _Doctor No_ is better than _From Russia with Love_, though I’ll cheerfully admit being open to opinions otherwise.

Probably the same world where DARK KNIGHT RISES is the best Batman.
