GetSortedAsync issue

[KaktusakCz_27 (KaktusakCz)]

Ok so i have playerData DataStore that stores like 5 things, i need to GetSortedAsync of only 1 of the 5 things, how do i do that?

Whenever you save a player’s stat, like “A thing”, make sure you also save it in an OrderedDataStore. This way, you can easily sort that stat. But there’s a limit on how many times you can save per minute, so be careful not to overdo it.

Here’s how you do it in code:

lua

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local playerStats = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("playerData")
local thingStats = DataStoreService:GetOrderedDataStore("ThingStats")

function updatePlayerStat(playerId, thingValue)
    local key = tostring(playerId)
    
    -- Saving the stat in playerData
    playerStats:SetAsync(key, {thing = thingValue})
    
    -- Also saving in OrderedDataStore for sorting
    thingStats:SetAsync(key, thingValue)
end

-- Use this function to update stats
-- updatePlayerStat(player.UserId, newThingValue)

Just swap player.UserId and newThingValue with your player’s ID and their new “thing” stat. Keep it simple, and watch out for those limits!
