I have the original coding here:

01local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
02local slots = script.Parent.Background.Tool.Slots:GetChildren()
03-- Sorting system --
04local resorted = {}
05for i, v in pairs(slots) do
06    print(v)
07    table.insert(resorted, tostring(v))
08end
09table.sort(resorted)
10print(table.concat(resorted, ' '))
11 
12player.Inventory.ChildAdded:connect(function(obj)
13    if obj.ItemType.Value == 2 then
14        for i, slots in pairs(resorted) do
15            if slots.Image == "" then
16                local find = game.ReplicatedStorage.InvenFrames.Tools:FindFirstChild(obj.Name)
17                slots.Image = find.Image
18                slots.ItemName.Value = obj.Name
19                    for i, clone in pairs(find:GetChildren()) do
20                        if clone:IsA("Folder") then
21                            clone.Parent = slots
22                        return nil
23                    end  
24                end
25            end
26        end
27    end
28end)

But when I go back to use the newly sorted version, I can't. Any help?

On line 7, do you mean v.Name? User#11440 120 — 8y

What does your question mean? What do you mean "go back to use" it? What is the actual problem? What are you trying to do? What happens instead? BlueTaslem 18071 — 8y

So, whenever an item goes into the inventory a picture goes to a slot but, the slots do not fill correctly. So the spots get filled randomly and in sequential order. Whenever I resorted it, I couldn't go back and use the sorted table. xXLegendarySoldierXx 129 — 8y
