@Keith168 based on the link below it could be because Ipswich and Preston have a worst disciplinary record than Birmingham
if everything is level either one of alphabetical order or disciplinary record can be used to determine order however if promotion or relegation is at stake a play off game will decide final placing rather than the other two factors (it would appear the team with better disciplinary record ends up lower down the table after Birmingham v Ipswich last night Ipswich had 3 yellows no reds to Birmingham 2 yellows no reds see https://www.espn.co.uk/football/stats/_/league/ENG.2/view/discipline )
