I have a table 'games' for a football league as follows:

date    home_team_id    away_team_id    home_score      away_score
 -          1                 2              6             21
 -          3                 1              7             19

I can't figure out how to dynamically generate a list of team ID's ordered by Wins (then points for if poss)?

--

I have this query which works fine when I have a $team_id but of cause then I can only do 1 team at a time, and that doesn't allow for ordering at query level

((SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `games` WHERE ((`home_score` > `away_score`) AND `home_team_id` = '.$team_id.')) + 
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `games` WHERE ((`home_score` < `away_score`) AND `away_team_id` = '.$team_id.'))) AS `wins`

I wonder if i can use this with some form of GROUP, or mySQL can know the $team_id itself? I've also tried some multiple JOINs with the 'team' table but they didn't work either.

Thanks,

Dan
