How do I make a table go from largest to smallest?

[DevTurtIe (DevTurtle)]

So for example this is what my table looks like:

local tableExample = {
{3, "APlayerName"},
{7, "APlayerName"},
{2, "APlayerName"},
{9, "APlayerName"},
}

and I want to make it go from largest value to smallest like this:

local tableExample = {
{9, "APlayerName"},
{7, "APlayerName"},
{3, "APlayerName"},
{2, "APlayerName"},
}

How would I be able to do this?
Also the Playernames don’t need to be sorted or anything only the value’s.

I guess this would need to be done with table.sort() but I can’t find how I would do this with a table inside of a table.

How to use table.sort?

In this example, it’d sort them accordingly from higher to lower. local mytab = { {"Test1",450}; {"Test2",56}; {"Test3",78}; } table.sort(mytab, function(a,b) return a[2] > b[2] end) for i,v in pairs(mytab) do print(v[1], v[2]) end [image]

Just make the callback function compare the first item in each stored nested table.

table.sort(tableExample, function(a, b)
	return a[1] > b[1]
end)
