When two teams in the league table have the same number of points, is it possible to order them by direct match and put the winner up? * I’m not able to do it although it is popular solution in league games. * Thanks.

There is no table column for it. * If it isn’t working for your league table, please kindly check if you have set the event results criteria (such as goals) as your primary. This is an example for soccer: [http://prntscr.com/o7vypg](http://prntscr.com/o7vypg) * This should be enough to show SportsPress which team won. * Thanks! * Thread Starter [kuperman87](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kuperman87/) * (@kuperman87) * [6 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-league-table-order/#post-11683516) * Hi, * I’m not sure what else can be wrong.. * Goals are set in the event results criteria: [https://prnt.sc/o83ec1](https://prnt.sc/o83ec1) Here you can see the league table: [http://lfsportevents.pl/ligaorlika/table/tabela-ii-liga/](http://lfsportevents.pl/ligaorlika/table/tabela-ii-liga/) * and the direct match between team number 5 and number 6: [http://lfsportevents.pl/ligaorlika/event/mariposa-med-spa-bastek-niskowa/](http://lfsportevents.pl/ligaorlika/event/mariposa-med-spa-bastek-niskowa/) unfortunately the order is not correct. * SP version: 2.6.14 * [Roch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rochesterj/) * (@rochesterj) * [6 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-league-table-order/#post-11688586) * Hi! * Thanks for your reply. * That seems to be fine indeed. What happens when you switch to Rookie or Twenty Seventeen? * Maybe it’s a theme-related issue.

I’ve removed other ordering criteria: [https://prnt.sc/odb91l](https://prnt.sc/odb91l) and H2H works fine, but unfortunately it’s not perfect solution. * We have a league with two rounds (match and rematch) and I think it’s common situation, so we have for example two teams with equal points, and draw in H2H matches (match and rematch), now we should use next ordering criteria like Goals difference and Goals for, which are disabled… * Is it possible to use H2H as a second order criteria, without disabling Goals difference and Goals for? * Thanks, Piotr * Plugin Contributor [Savvas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/savvasha/) * (@savvasha) * [6 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-league-table-order/#post-11720243) * Hi [@kuperman87](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kuperman87/) , * Usually the ordering criteria of a League Table are used for H2H calculation. H2H is not another sorting criteria. It should be the last (or should I say, least) criteria you are using to order your teams. Ofcourse there are some edge cases (if everything is a tie, also in H2H, then what?) In those cases you can use a “dummy/hidden” performance which you will manually enter the correct ordering numbers and order by it. * Thanks, Savvas * Thread Starter [kuperman87](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kuperman87/) * (@kuperman87) * [6 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-league-table-order/#post-11721606) * Hi [@savvasha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/savvasha/), * Thanks for the answer. * I’m not sure if we understand each other 🙂 * Example situation: Real Madrid and FC Barcelona have the same amount of points, then the tie is broken through: * 1. Head-to-head points between tied teams 2. Head-to-head goal difference between tied teams 3. Goal difference * So the Head to Head is taken as second lever criteria, if the H2H was a draw without any goal we need to check entire goal difference, but in my case it’s not possible – because if I want to H2H work properly I have to disable goal difference ordering.. * So H2H should have higher priority than i.e. Goal difference, but in the SportsPress the H2H work only if Goal difference is the same (or disabled) I hope you understand me? * It’s not only in La Liga, similar counting is used in Serie A, Champions League etc.. * Thanks, Piotr * Plugin Contributor [Savvas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/savvasha/) * (@savvasha) * [6 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-league-table-order/#post-11722567) * Hi [@kuperman87](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kuperman87/) , * I think that I got what you are trying to say. Unfortunately, this is how SportsPress works right now. It should be more flexible, I agree with you.
