Someone on a place page is usually looking for a school they can name, so the
order should serve scanning for it rather than ranking. /api/rankings keeps
its league-table ordering; this is a place-page decision, not a site-wide one.
Sorted case-insensitively, or a capitalised name would sort ahead of every
lowercase one.

The change made five pieces of copy untrue, so they go with it. The phase
variant titled itself "— Ranked", and all four route families described
themselves as "ranked by SATs and GCSE results". A page that opens by claiming
an order it does not keep is worse than one that claims nothing.

The ItemList markup carried `position` with no declared order, which reads as
a ranking. It now declares ItemListOrderAscending, so the structured data says
what the table does.
