Sorting
editConsidering that this is just a list of clubs, and not some kind of ranking, shouldn't the table be sorted alphabetically? I get the other ranking, and know that it sometimes used in German magazines, but is it appropriate here? OdinFK (talk) 09:14, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
- As the table is sortable in every way I can't see how it matters. The alphabetical sorting could probably be improved through the use of the Template:sortname, but that is another matter. Calistemon (talk) 22:03, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
- Of course it can be sorted, but that doesn't mean that the initial presentation is completely inconsequential. Actually carrying that argument further you could just sort the clubs at random. I mean it surely is not a very important issue, but given the choice I would still pre-sort the table in the most meaningful way. My impression is that this would be alphabetical here.

- And my opinion is that the current (2014–15) clubs should be on top. It makes the updating so much easier at the end of season when a lot of articles require updating. But if you feel like changing that you are most welcome to do so. I don't see it as an overly important issue. Regards, Calistemon (talk) 11:01, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
