Why this table.sort script work strangely?

[Mrdmlxo]

---------------Pls off darkmode----------------

local tableToSort = {
{“Player1”, 2};
{“Player2”, 1};
{“Player3”, 3};
}

local sortedTable = table.sort(tableToSort,
function(a,b)
return a[2] > b[2]
end
)

for i,v in pairs(sortedTable) do
print(v[1]…" | "…v[2])
end

Using table.sort() to sort values from highest to lowest

In simple, I’m looking to sort a table by an integer (highest to lowest) contained within the arrays of a table. I had a go below, but couldn’t quite get it to work: local tableToSort = { {"Player1", 2}; {"Player2", 1}; {"Player3", 3}; } local sortedTable = table.sort(tableToSort, function(a,b) return a[2] > b[2] end ) for i,v in pairs(sortedTable) do print(v[1].." | "..v[2]) end Desired output: Player 3 | 3 Player 1 | 2 Player 2 | 1

Here’s a basic table.sort script used to set ranks some values.

And it works good so I cited this shape to my script.

Here’s what I made. Only one different thing is just values in first(in red square).

Then let’s add print and see the result of this script

Nah, it became idiot. Why it doesnt rank the values from the bigger suddenly?
Somebody help me

p.s - the values what I set are variable.

Well there is a simple answer, you forgot to set; mytab = the table.sort, so your table.sort should look like:

mytab = table.sort(mytab, function(a,b)
    return a[2] >= b[2]
end)

mm I changed that too… but I changed because the script worked strangely when return a[2] > b[2].

First Ill do it again like what you advise

[domboss37 (TSL)]

You could keep it as >= I didn’t realize I forgot the =

[Mrdmlxo]

that’s ok
But I found an error message in it

The 31 line in rauecaranked is this. What does message mean?

I have a table sorting function, and for some reason, i was getting the same issue as you, however i found when i named the things in my table, and then check everything else nearly the same, just fixed it.
example:

local itemtable = {
{["playername"] = "player1", ["Number"] = 5};
{["playername"] = "player2", ["Number"] = 2};
{["playername"] = "player3", ["Number"] = 15};
}
table.sort(itemtable, function(a, b)
	return a.Number> b.Number -- instead of doing a[2] > b[2] i instead did a.Number > b.Number
end)

[Mrdmlxo]

nooooooo

Here what I changed. Is it right?

: original

[Mrdmlxo]

With this error message, print result started not to appear suddenly

this is line 25.

Remove the mytab redeclaration, table.sort doesn’t return anything

[McThor2]

What is the classname for: game.Workspace["miridal3:"].Value

[Mrdmlxo]

Remove Here?

[Mrdmlxo]

Value.Value

[HugeCoolboy2007 (omega)]

No, remove this:

[McThor2]

That isn’t the class name, what type of object value is it? StringValue, numberValue etc

[Mrdmlxo]

string but it’s not the value to be compared. It shows the username in ‘mirdal3:’.

[Mrdmlxo]

Now error message died! THX1!!

But bug still alive

Here’s whole editted script. dam what should I do

[McThor2]

So is the game.Workspace["miridal3:"].IHHI one a string value too?

[McThor2]

I think you may just need to wrap your values with tonumber like tonumber(workspace["mirdal3:"].IHHI.Value)

[Mrdmlxo]

it works TANKYOU THANKYOU TAAAAAAAAAAAANKYOU!!!

I did all the occasion, That All ACCASION WORKED welL! HAHA

Stop using StringValue objects to store numbers. Just use IntValue/NumberValue objects instead.
