Thanks I was here for that, considering the difference in games played that should be the default sorting value if you want to make an all-time table that means something

Plus, the one major caveat I would add to both charts is that the English Football League changed to the 3-point win scheme in 1981-1982 season, so I have no idea how that would influence the points per game calculation to make a true all-time table. OP's table, provided from the link in this post, calculates the points total using the 3-point scheme.

that should be the default sorting value

That would be a totally different chart. Spurs and the Manchester teams would be sorted to the top on far fewer matches played.

Yeah true, making them the all-time better championship sides, on average per match. But that doesn't make much sense, so set a minimum of matches played and you're good

Preston mid table no matter which way you sort it.
