The problem is that this isn’t an array. You’ve inadvertently created a hashmap, which has no particular order, so you can’t sort the entries.
The only way to get around this is to create an array of objects and then sort it using a custom sort function, like so:
my_table = {
{ Name = "John"; Value = 5; },
{ Name = "Abby"; Value = 7; },
{ Name = "Nick"; Value = 2; }
}
table.sort(my_table, function(a, b)
return a.Value < b.Value
end)
Hopefully this points you in the right direction!
