Ordering a table from largest to smallest?

#1

How would I convert a table from {4,1,3,2} to {4,3,2,1}?

I attempted using table.sort() but it ordered it from smallest to largest.

How to get the maximum value in the table

Because that is the sorting method by default.

local t = { 4, 1, 3, 2 }

table.sort(t, function(a, b)
    return a > b
end)

How does that work?
I don’t really understand it, sorry.

Alright this is how it works.

sort(t: { [number]: any }, predicate?: (any, any) -> bool)

The table.sort iterates over all elements and calls predicate(a, b) on them. predicate(a, b) evaluates to true when a should precede b. by default the sorting method is a < b, hence why your table was sorted in ascending order
