Getting the position of a key in an OrderedDataStore

[frostxoff (Reina)]

It’s been almost 10 years since this feature request was posted and it’s still haven’t been added and still needed by developers.
I have over 150 leaderboards in my game and I need a reliable way of getting player’s placements in them without loading all datastores in and getting player’s position in them with GetSortedAsync (which will take more than a hour).
And the time is not only problem here, it is almost impossible to get key’s ordered position if it’s on high placement like 10000th, like Maelstronomer said:

It is still currently impossible to do a hiscores like this with the current ordered data store. This feature is present in hundreds of other games and apps; encouraging competition between friends, or periodically checking your ranks as they climb, setting milestones to get within 100k, 10k, 1k, and top 10 etc.

I’d love to have the ability to do this in my game with datastores. OrderedDataStore:GetPosition(key) or the OP’s suggestion would be awesome!

It would be awesome if this feature was added and it will give ability to add more competitive aspect to people’s experiences.

Every year that goes by without this feature is a significant lost opportunity for the Roblox ecosystem.

It’s odd that Roblox is fundamentally a social, multiplayer marketplace; and yet the most basic competitive functions are near-impossible if not impossible to accomplish on this platform.

Elo ratings, tiered rankings, competitive matchmaking, leaderboard positions (and/or position for elo/rankings), etc. simply does not appear on this platform.
