A natural rank function is defined on the set DS of everywhere divergent sequences of continuous functions on the unit circle T. The rank function provides a natural measure of the complexity of the sequences in DS, and is obtained by associating a well-founded tree with each such sequence. The set DF of everywhere divergent Fourier series, and the set DT of everywhere divergent trigonometric series with coefficients that tend to zero, can be viewed as natural subsets of DS. It is shown that the rank function is a coanalytic norm which is unbounded in ω1 on DF. From this it follows that DF, DT and DS are not Borel subsets of the Polish space SC(T) of all sequences of continuous functions on T. Finally an alternative definition of the rank function is formulated by using nested sequences of closed sets.
