What I'm trying to do is at the end of the round in my game, I want a list of every player's kills in order, but so far I only found out how to find the player with the most/least of a certain value. Any help will be appreciated!

How do I organize a table of numbers from least to greatest?

There is a table method called sort. This method takes the table (t), and an optional function to provide an algorithm for sorting.
A requirement for the comp function is two arguments. The function should return true when the first element should come before the second.
An example of a sorting function (comp) is:
local nums = {1, 5, 2, 3, 7, 5, 8, 9, 1}
local sortFunction = function(n1,n2)
if n1 < n2 then
return true
elseif n1 > n2 then
return false
end
end
table.sort(nums,sortFunction)
for _,v in pairs(nums) do
print(v)
end
-- Output:
-- 1 (x2)
-- 2
-- 3
-- 5 (x2)
-- 7
-- 8
-- 9
The above function sorts the table from least to greatest.
void table.sort ( array t, function comp = nil )
To organize something like a player's kills from least to greatest, you could use a comp function like this:
local sortFunction = function(player1,player2)
if player1.kills.Value < player2.kills.Value then
return true
elseif player1.kills.Value > player2.kills.Value then
return false
end
end
