Hello People! I Have Been Trying To Make A DataStore For Player Stats, (Like Speed, Power, Stamina, Or Their Level As IntValues Within A Folder Of The Player’s Backpack (Note: I Am New To DataStore Related Stuff)) And To Be Honest, I Have Gotten Pretty Close. The Only Issue I Am Dealing With, Is That When The Values Are Loaded, They Are Stored In The Wrong Order, Causing Specific Stats To Not Work As Intended. As Of Now, I Have Tried A Few Things, Mainly Inserting Them Into A Table Before Storing Them, or Even Using, “:GetSortedAsync()”, “GetOrderedDataStore” And What Not, But These Have Yet To Work. (Unless I Am A Noob, And Is The Reason That’s Why) For Those Who Would Like To Help Out, I Have The Code Listed Below, And If You Guys Know The Solution, I’d Really Like To Know, It Would Really Help Me Out, Thank You!

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local Backpack = Player:WaitForChild("Backpack")
local PlayerStats = Backpack:FindFirstChild("PlayerStats") and Backpack:WaitForChild("PlayerStats")
local LevelStats = Backpack:FindFirstChild("LevelStats") and Backpack:WaitForChild("LevelStats")
local Data
for I,V in pairs(PlayerStats:GetDescendants()) do
if V ~= nil then
if V:IsA("IntValue") and V:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Folder").Name == LevelStats.Name or V:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Folder").Name == PlayerStats.Name then
local Success,ErrorMessage = pcall(function()
Data = LevelData:GetAsync(Player.UserId,V.Value)
wait()
end)
if Success then
V.Value = Data
else
print("There Was An Error Saving Player Data")
warn(ErrorMessage)
end
end
end
end

Here Is The Script, I Hope This Can Help In Someway As A Sort Of Reference (The Stats Are IntValues Within Specific Folders Of The Player’s Backpack)
When you save you should use Datastore:SetAsync, as it sets a value inside a Datastore to something,
As when you are loading stuff you should use Datastore:GetAsync, as it’s getting the information from the datastore,
I am using it on here since I thought that PlayerRemoving(), should still require :GetAsync. If it’s wrong I am sorry, I’ve still got a long way to go.

There were alot of misstypes, I had to go to studio to fix it, whenever i ran the game it wouldn’t put anything in the Backpack, so put the folders in player if u don’t mind, you can change if you want.
Another stuff is you forgot to name alot of intValues,
And on the top of the script you called the DataStore an OrderedDataStore, you usually use Ordered ones if you’re making a leaderboard with top 10 players for example, but yeah you can see the difference between your and my edited script and you can kinda see whats different
When you wrote
CurrentLevel.Value = Data[1]
It couldn’t get anything because you can’t save arrays (tables) inside an OrderedDataStore, so you wanna use normal DataStores
I highly recommend using UpdateAsync for saving since it doesn’t completely overwrite a players data like SetAsync does, so it’s much better considering if an error occurs the old data can still be kept where as if some sort of error could occur with SetAsync there could be a potential data wipe for the player
Yeah he said that UpdateAsync is safer than SetAsync because it can wipe data, it is true but the chance of that happening is really low, I never had it happen in my career
