Answer 1

This question covers functional design in the first place.
It is entirely up to you how you define those categories. What is the measure of popularity? Number of views? Number of likes? Number of comments?
Similarly, how do you measure if something is trending? Maybe the number of times viewed within a certain time limit, but that could be a month, a week, a day, an hour?
Are these categories mutually exclusive, or can a post be popular AND trending at the same time?
In any case, you will need to store these statistical data about the posts, in a database, and determine the ranking or category based on that.

Answer 2

I think popularity is already based on viewamount so I recommend you to just count this amount and then make a method to disblay the video at the top with the highest countvalue. I dont think that you will need any complex algorithms :)
