You could do this by sorting on a calculated factor. Dividing the rating by the days gives a good starting point:
rating/days = factor (e.g. 15/6 = 2.5 or 11/3 = 3.6)
You can balance this to your needs by multiplicate the variables (rating and day) with any factor you like.
There are to ways to implement such a factor:
- use wp-crons to hourly refresh the factor for each post and save the value as postmeta. So you can easily use a WP_Query and sort the posts by the meta_value_num.
- calculate the factor directly in your post-loop
