First of all, I know how to use table.sort . I was wondering how you would add a function in argument two. Any ideas on how to use argument two (function)?

After I posted this, I found this post as I searched:
Unfortunately, there’s no easy way around this. Dictionaries, unlike arrays, cannot have an order.
Solution 1 Convert to Array
You’ll need to convert it to arrays like this.
local players = {
{'coolboy123', 216},
{'funfungamers', 683},
{'asdasdasd', 120}
}
And then sort the table with the following code:
table.sort(players, function(a, b)
return a[2] > b[2]
end)
Our table is now:
funfungamers 683
coolboy123 216
asdasdasd 120
Solution 2 spairs
