Sort players by position?

    I am creating a rowing website using SportsPress. I would like to be able to display player (crew) lists through a number of seasons which are always sorted according to my 9 crew positions (bow, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, stroke, cox).

    I can’t use squad numbers to achieve this because I have some of the same players (oarsmen) recurring across different crews in different seasons, so the sorting criteria needs to be something that is unique to each different season’s crew list, rather than each individual oarsman, otherwise sorting only works for one season’s crew list at a time. For example, I have 3 oarsmen from my 2019 crew – Edward, Freddie and Dave – who also rowed in my 2018 crew but in different positions. I want to be able to display my crew lists as below:

    2019
    bow: Bill
    1: Edward
    2: Steve
    3: Dave
    4: Tom
    5: Charlie
    6: Freddie
    7: Alex
    stroke: Will
    cox: Lee

    2018
    bow: Karl
    1: Sonny
    2: Timothy
    3: Edward
    4: Freddie
    5: Oscar
    6: Hamish
    7: Dave
    stroke: Frank
    cox: Emma

    Hi!

    Thanks for reaching out.

    Unfortunately, as far as I know, there is no easy way to achieve what you want. As there’s no custom field for past squad numbers, you’d need some custom code to store that.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    yesterday I tried do the same thing as @lartay wants to do.
    It is possible to give the positions a specific order number… Isn’t it possible to use that information in any way?

    Thanks,
    Rainer
