    Hi Mark – I maintain a website for a quiz league and use the Plugin for posting league tables. The quiz league has the quirk of recording the total pts (GF)for questions answered correctly and also pts (Points) for the match result (2 pts for a win, 1 for a tie etc). I order by Points but to rank correctly it’s necessary to also order by GF so that the highest GF is the determinant when Points are equal. Can this be done? Thanks in anticipation. Vic

    Hi veecee,
    You can’t order by GF without modifying the code. You you could do is rank the teams based on GF and then order by ranking and hide the ranking column. I think that would achieve the same effect, but of course it would all be manual labor. ?? Or maybe a better solution would be to use Points for GF, repurpose (relabel) another field for Points. Then the software would sort by GF when it was set to sort by Points.

    Let me know.

    OK I’ve had a rethink on the problem and after some head scratching I’m going back to linking spreadsheet tables for the time being. Tempted by the idea of code revision but not quite up to that yet. Thanks again.

    Hello, thank you for this awesome plugin, I konw this isn’t the right thread to ask this but I couldn’t find the right one. My team links aren’t working, although I entered a link in the required field, tha table shows like there aren’t any links. What can I do?

    Thanks,
    Bogdan
