I am trying to print simple leaderboard in output, but it seems doesn’t give me ant pages or something, did i forget something? i did enable apis and i do have data in my data store manger

code

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local pointsStore = DataStoreService:GetOrderedDataStore("PlayerData")

local function printTopTenPlayers()
	local isAscending = false
	local pageSize = 10
	local pages = pointsStore:GetSortedAsync(isAscending, pageSize)
	local topTen = pages:GetCurrentPage()
	print(topTen)
end

printTopTenPlayers()

i have another script that saves data with SetAsync
Data structure

local dataToSave = {
	Cash = Number
	Level = Number
	Items = Number
}

My way to save data:

local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
		playerDataStore:SetAsync(userId, dataToSave)
end)

Hey!

For GetOrderedDataStore, you can’t save tables directly.

only works with numbers

As the person above said, GetOrderedDataStore only works with numbers (and maybe strings I haven’t tested)
It doesn’t work with tables due to the reason that tables aren’t really comparable, since :GetSortedAsync() sorts in an identical way table.sort does, except you can’t change the comparison function

Sadly, it doesn’t work with strings Aswell.

Only numbers are supported

Makes you wonder why they don’t simply allow you to provide a sorting function like they do with table.sort.

For those who wonder why it didn’t work it was my mistake :slightly_smiling_face: , i was saving to Data Store instead Ordered Data Store…
