Ipairs not doing anything

I’m trying to run functions in table order but “ipairs” is not doing anything at all. It works just fine with “pairs” but its all out of order.

local An = {
	R1 = function()
		Run(1,5)
	end;
	
	R2 = function()
		Run(2,7)
	end;
	
	R3 = function()
		Run(3,3)
	end;
	
	R4 = function()
		Run(4,6)
	end;
	
	R5 = function()
		Run(5,7)
	end;
}


for i, v in ipairs(An) do
	wait(1)
	v()
end

Ummm wheres the commas? ignore

#3

I used the “;” instead of commas.

#4

Dont think tht works atleast in my knowledge.

#5

Pretty sure ipairs only loops through arrays or dictionary numbers

Use this:

local An = {
	[1] = function()
		Run(1,5)
	end;
	
	[2] = function()
		Run(2,7)
	end;
	
	[3] = function()
		Run(3,3)
	end;
	
	[4] = function()
		Run(4,6)
	end;
	
	[5] = function()
		Run(5,7)
	end;
}


for i, v in ipairs(An) do
	wait(1)
	v()
end

It runs in order

how do I run this in order? because “pairs” is random

#11 
local An = {
	function()
		Run(1,5)
	end,
	
	function()
		Run(2,7)
	end,
	
    function()
		Run(3,3)
	end,
	
	function()
		Run(4,6)
	end,
	
	function()
		Run(5,7)
	end,
}


for i, v in ipairs(An) do
	wait(1)
	v()

Use pairs 4 dictionaries while looping.
