Maybe an option to set min amount of games to go with highest winning pctg.

Accepting it is not an improvement. The method by which the standings of teams within a league are ordered should have three options: (1) by winning percentage; (2) by games behind; and (3) by number of wins. Each of these methods is different. All three of these methods have been used in baseball.
(Technically, there should be a fourth: by points. Several leagues have used a system whereby the season was split, and the clubs in each half awarded points based on their final standing for that half. The clubs with the best point totals overall were the playoff qualifiers.)
