Table.sort returning a nil value?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

does anybody know why print(table.sort({2, 1})) returns no value? I get the same result using a local script, server script and the command bar

#2

table.sort doesn’t return anything, it edits the table itself.

Example:

local tableToSort = {9, 10, 6, 1}
print(tableToSort[1]) -- 9
table.sort(tableToSort)
print(tableToSort[1]) -- 1

so it sorts tables from smallest value to greatest value?

Yes, by default. You can also pass a custom function as the second parameter to handle the sorting.
