Hello developers :slightly_smiling_face:,
I am trying to make a leaderboard GUI of points. But should I only use an OrderedDataStore (to sort, save, and load)? Or should I use two datastores, one normal (to save and load), and one ordered (to sort)

If you have to sort them, use one OrderedDataStore. Two datastores will bring you closer to your Datastore request limit (~6 per minute)

Thanks for answering, also, do you know if I should wrap the ordered datastore with a pcall()?
I noticed people wrapped only the normal datastore, and not the ordered one.

I would just in case. I think it is still an asynchronous function so that security measure would be there if it were to error for some reason.
