Sort function for a league rating

    Hi Guys,

    I am using TablePress for a ranking in our online racing league.
    Is there any way to sort the data automatically?

    At the moment we are entering the championship points for every one, but we have to change the “Position” manually for every entry.

    Column A is the “Pos.”; column B is “Name of the Driver” and column C is “Points”.
    I am using the newest version of WP and of Tablepress, too.

    Do you know a way to do this by its own?

    Regards,
    Julian

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    You could take a look at the Table Row Order Extension from https://tablepress.org/extensions/table-row-order/ for this, which can print a table in a sorted order, even when the data is not sorted on the “Edit” screen.

    No problem, Tobias.
    I saw this plugin today but I don’t know how to use it probably.

    Example:

    Rating in my TablePress before:

    1. user1 99 Pts.
    2. user2 97 Pts.
    3. user3 95 Pts.

    Now User3 earned 20 Pts. in The Last Race. And user2 got 10 Pts. Now My Table Looks like:

    1. user1 99 Pts.
    2. user2 107 Pts.
    3. user3 115 Pts.

    Now the table needs to be sorted again automatically. How can I do that?
    The target is, that the editor only has to enter the new overall points. Is this possible?

    Hi,

    Can you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!

    Hi,

    thanks! The mentioned Table Row Order Extension should work fine here. Just install that as a new plugin and extend your table’s Shortcodes on that page to

    [table id=123 row_order=sort row_order_sort_column=3 row_order_sort_direction=DESC /]

    To then also get an ascending ranking column in the first column, you can additionally use this Extension: https://tablepress.org/extensions/datatables-counter-column/

    Hi Tobias,

    thanks for your fast support, I will donate some amount to you later this month (it’s on my todo list now ;)).
    But one last question, how should the shortcode look like, when I use the DataTables Counter Column plugin together with the table row order, like mentioned before? And is there something other I have to think about?

    Hi,

    thanks for wanting to donate, I really appreciate it!

    Just add the extra parameter to the Shortcode, like

    [table id=123 row_order=sort row_order_sort_column=3 row_order_sort_direction=DESC datatables_counter_column=true /]

    Regards,
