Are there any reasons why the leaderboard would stop sorting players with higher scores? I just noticed this during a testing. I remember it fluctuating when I would get higher xp or a higher level but now it just sits no matter how much your score is.

I’m not able to reproduce
Can you send your leaderstats script? Maybe I would try with that one
Note: Your problem is probably about your leaderstats value types
Here’s mine:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = Player
local HillPoints = Instance.new("IntValue")
HillPoints.Name = "Luck"
HillPoints.Value = 0
HillPoints.Parent = leaderstats
local InHill = Instance.new("IntValue")
InHill.Name = "Power"
InHill.Value = 0
InHill.Parent = leaderstats
local InHill = Instance.new("IntValue")
InHill.Name = "Level"
InHill.Value = 0
InHill.Parent = leaderstats
local InHill = Instance.new("IntValue")
InHill.Name = "XP"
InHill.Value = 0
InHill.Parent = leaderstats
end)

Give me a second but I never knew you could use the same name to create leaderstat values. Cool. I think it’s my leaderstats too for some reason but i don’t know why I’ll have to post and carefully look.

During local testing inside Studio it fluctuates but its still broken because once test player can have 500 xp and as soon as the other test player gets any xp they are placed above the player with 500. I wonder what broke it.
I used your same script but still same it’s works for me. If you really want it to work, look for custom leaderboards something like this

hmm could it be that I’m connecting the player event to other functions in other scripts? its bogging my mind but I will look into that thanks
also, does it matter where you adjust a leaderboard stat? say i submit a request from the client that sends back the stat to adjust from the server. That should work server wide and not locally right? Even if i initiate from the server to the client. It should still count toward the stat right?
Also, may i ask what method you did to adjust the leaderstat? I’m just getting my head around local and server and that’s what this project is for knowing how to do things locally and how do communicate with server so if i ever make a finished game i have a proper way of doing things and it isn’t so vulnerable to fault.
Only the first column of values is used when sorting players, if you want the players to be sorted by ‘Level’ (for example) then instance and parent that stat to the ‘leaderstats’ folder first.

sorting depends on the first stat (Luck)
So create XP values first then create other values.

Thanks for that insight 
That little bit of information just saved me a headache. I never knew the leading stat is what the leaderboard goes by. Im sure i overlooked that TIP somewhere in the docs lol
