I’m using code to sort the order of the Parts by Position;
The results that I’m looking for is:
Green1… Green2
Red1 … Red6
Yellow1 … Yellow4
Blue1 … Blue3
(or vice versa)

I normally specify which one is larger in my sort functions. Try using statements like
return A.Name > B.Name
Isn’t that the same as what I’m doing with the if statements?
Well in the if statements you’re comparing their X and Z value of the position, but not the position in the table. You return true but you don’t assign a position in the table. At least thats the only reason I can think it wouldn’t work
table.sort doesn’t require a position but just a boolean
return 2 > 1 and 3 > 2 is the same as return true

Maybe it’s because it’s not being set to do anything if the statement isn’t true? The statement makes A ahead of B if it meets the requirements, but doesn’t do anything if it doesn’t. Maybe thats the case? I’m honestly not sure just picking at straws
Hey, @ancant64!
I really appreciate your effort to help, I’ve solved the challenge on my own.
table.sort alone isn’t suitable for the Task so I’ve written my own Sorting Algorithm.
The sort algorithm is not stable; that is, elements considered equal by the given order may have their relative positions changed by the sort.
