TudorandClaude Opus 5	9cc87c41bb	fix(places): a phase page needs results, not merely publishable schools ... Asked where schools with no results should sit in an alphabetical list, and found that some pages were almost entirely made of them. The per-phase threshold counted schools that were publishable — a result OR an Ofsted grade — while a phase page exists for its results column. /schools/kent/primary published with none of its five rows carrying a result; Minehead had one of seven, Buntingford one of five. Forty-four phase pages were majority-blank. It is the same rule as "no page without a local average", which was written into the spec as a thin-page control and never extended per phase. The threshold now counts schools with a result for that phase. It gates whether the page exists; it does not filter rows — a page that publishes still lists every school of the phase, because someone looking up a school by name has to find it whether or not it published results. 126 of 1,012 variant pages stop publishing: 62 primary, 64 secondary. Every one of them was a table with too little in it to be worth a page. The ordering itself is unchanged: pure A-Z, blanks interleaved. A school sits where its name says it does, and at roughly a tenth of rows that reads fine.

TudorandClaude Opus 5	8967966eef	feat(places): list schools alphabetically on place pages ... 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.
