Standing sorting issue

    Hi, I ran into a standings issue.
    I have teams playing 2 and 3 matches so far. When those teams have gotten the same amount of points (e.g. 6 points), the table is now sorted by games played and then points. However, teams having gained 6 points out of 2 matches should be higher in rank than teams having played 3 matches to gain 6 points.
    What I did is change the sorting order, and added P (games played) to the sorting order.
    1 = PTS (Asc) ==> Points)
    2 = GD (Asc) ==> Goals difference
    3 = P (Desc) ==> Points
    Did not work. Actually, nothing changed.
    Next try:
    1 = PTS (Asc)
    2 = GD (Asc)
    2 = P (Desc)
    Works sort of, However, but I now end up with twice a 3rd position, and twice a 5th position. And those are also not in the tight order.
    Solution:
    1 = PTS (Asc)
    2 = P (Desc)
    2 = GD (Asc)
    It now sorts the table like it should. Postions are now listed correct, sorting order is also correct.
    Maybe it should work like this by default and I broke something, I don’t know.
    But this might help people struggling with the table sorting order.

  • Hi ErikSlot

    Could you tell me where you enter this information in to set the formula for positions? My position numbering is also incorrect and I would like to set it for Points and Games Played but can’t see where to change this.

    Thanks

    Hi S,

    You should find it in SportsPress Settings > Configure.
    Go to League Table Columns.
    You are now at the right place. The column you are looking for is the Sort Order column.
    There really is not a formula for positions, as it is automatically calculated. That you can not edit. However, if your sorting is right, it will work out fine (no duouble postions) ?? .

    EDIT: In my first post the P stands for Events Played of course!
