Biggest opportunity: Swap “sort” and “sorting” for “league” and “criteria”. “sort” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “league” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “sorting” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “criteria” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

2.1%

of downloads still active

At least 200 of 9.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,784 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

This plugin shipped 4 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

    Just the extra settings we needed to sort league tables the way we need. Thank you!

    This plugin resolved our issue. The league I work for, (United Premier Soccer League) in the United States is a pro-development league for young aspiring amateur players. The league recently converted to Head-To-Head as the first tie breaker for our division tables. Before we implemented the plugin, we only had the option of goal different to sort the teams after points in our Themeboy wp theme. Now we have a lot more flexibility and allows us to accurately reflect the rankings of teams throughout the season. We owe the developer a lot for his work on this plugin-in!

    I’ve been using sportspress for a number of years now and though their current sorting criteria functions – it is really limited. Especially when trying to incorporate head to head and where in your sorting order this would fall under. This plugin completely revitalizes the sorting ability and allows you to set custom sorting orders for each individual league (should you want this). Great work Savaas!!! Side Note: beware that this plugin currently does not function out of the box with Dan FIsher’s Alchemist theme though can be incorporated very easily by editing the league-table.php sportspress template file found in alchemist/sportspress/ folder. You would open that file and replace the code below (found on or around line 41) $table = new SP_League_Table( $id ); With the following $sah2h_criteria = get_post_meta( $id, 'sah2h_criteria', true );if ( 'default' !== $sah2h_criteria && '' !== $sah2h_criteria ) { $table = new SAH2H_League_Table( $id ); $table->h2h_criteria = $sah2h_criteria;} else { $table = new SP_League_Table( $id );} That is all I’ve done to have this advanced h2h plugin function with the Alchemist theme. *Use at your own discretion.
