Heh, I took the shorter one from the your link and it's actually a wholly different batch of tropes (some of which had me scratching my head). Results, just to see all the available ones:

1 Sleepovers/Stuck In A Tent Together/Bed Sharing
1 Found Family
1 Platonic Cuddling/Hand-Holding/Skinship
4 Mentor Fic
5 Historical AU
6 Spies/Double Agents/Secret Identity
7 Casefic
8 Childhood Friends Reunited
9 Accidental Pet Acquisition
10 Possession/Mental Connection
11 Magical Realism (e.g. animal transformation, woke up a different sex, bodyswap, age regression...)
12 Always a Different Sex
13 Time Travel
14 Antagonist Saves Hero ('nobody is allowed to kill you but me'/'I still need you around for my grand plan')
15 Political Intrigue
16 Modern AU
16 Mythological Creatures
16 Bonding Through Adversity
16 Training Montage Fic
20 Slowly Turning Evil/Heel Turn
20 Self-Insert
22 Friends/Siblings to Enemies
23 Antagonist Turned Weird Uncle/Antihero/Reluctant Part of the Hero Group
24 The Enemy of My Enemy Is My Friend
25 Reincarnation

In other words, this has a lot more very specific tropes and is missing broader ones, and a lot of ones I like, starting with H/C for example, or even Friends to Lovers. Plus, the definition of "magical realism" is exceptionally broad IMO. And there's still no Space AU available! I'm doing the longer one at the moment (8% sorted at question number 18) and I'm side-eyeing some of the things listed as tropes, which read more like short plot summaries...

ETA: Oh, I just saw, it's NON-ROMANTIC trope sorter. (It's right there in the title, self.) Well. Okay then. That obviously kills quite few popular ones.
