Hello, I want to achieve a global leaderboard with DataStore2, I know how to make one with normal DS via this tutorial;

How to make a simple global leaderboard

Global leaderboards are great for adding competition to a game. Players want to become the best of them all, and will work hard to compete to become the best. If you make your leaderboard look nice, players will do anything to be better than the rest. [image] Taken from my game, The Tower Tycoon Just look how hard people worked just to have a number and their name displayed on a virtual board. Before You Begin For this tutorial, it is recommended you know the basics of manipulating parts …

I just have no idea how to customize it to work with DS2.

Does anyone have some experience with this and could help me?
Thanks in advance.

You simply can’t do this directly with DataStore2. It’s easier to create a separate OrderedDataStore and just save the value there whenever DataStore2 updates.

You can use the AfterSave method on your DataStore2 object to save the respective data to the player:

local store = DataStore2("Data", player)

store:AfterSave(function(newData)
	repeat
		local s = pcall(orderedStore.SetAsync, orderedStore, player.UserId, newData)
	until s
end)

With this in place, you can just use GetSortedAsync on orderedStore to get the leaderboard you need.

Thank you, but then, I would have to call Save() every x minuets or it gets called every time it gets :Incremented or :Set?

:Save() is automatically called when the Player is leaving, however I’d recommend to call it every 2-3 minutes.
