Keep table in order from script?

[obamagremlin (jayp)]

I’m making a keybind system and I’m working on the keybinds gui. I heard that to get it in order as defined in the script, I have to use ipairs, but when I use ipairs, it just doesn’t run at all? Anyone know how to fix this or other ways?

for name, key in ipairs(keybindsData.current) do
		local frame = content.Item:Clone()
		frame.Visible = true
		
		local nameLabel = frame:FindFirstChild("Name")
		
		if nameLabel then
			nameLabel.Text = tostring(name)
		end
		
		local keyButton = frame:FindFirstChild("Keybind")
		
		if keyButton then
			keyButton.Text = tostring(key.Name)
		end
		
		frame.Parent = content
	end

KEYBINDS TABLE:

["Rotate Mode"] = Enum.KeyCode.LeftControl,
["Dribble"] = Enum.KeyCode.One,
["Pass"] = Enum.KeyCode.Two,
["Shoot"] = Enum.KeyCode.Three,
["Ping"] = Enum.KeyCode.Q,
["BallCamera"] = Enum.KeyCode.Backspace,

ipairs only works in numerically assigned table values (arrays), not dictionaries. You can use ipairs on an array then get the information you need from another table.

You’d have to redo your table if you want to use ipairs. Something like this:

local KeyBinds = {
{Name = "Pass",  KeyBind = Enum.KeyCode.Two},
...
}
