How to make Dictionaries stay in order?

pairs does not care about order, you have 2 solutions here, first is to use array instead, it hurts readability because you would have to remember the numbers but adds performance:

local Table = {
    [1] = 0,        -- PointsWon
    [2] = 0,        -- PointsTied
    [3] = 999,      -- PointsLost
}

for Index, Value in ipairs(Table) do
    print(Index, Value)
end

-- 1 0
-- 2 0
-- 3 999

ipairs only works for arrays and it goes by order just like for loop. The second option is to create array of orders like this:

local Order = {"PointsWon", "PointsTied", "PointsLost"}

local Table = {
    PointsLost = 34893,
    PointsWon = 0,
    PointsTied = 0,
}

for _, Key in ipairs(Order) do
    local Value = Table[Key]

    print(Key, Value)
end

-- PointsWon 0
-- PointsTied 0
-- PointsLost 34893
