How To Order Gui's With The Highest Amt. of Points on Top - Lowest Points at Bottom?(Attempt posted)
You've seen it everywhere, from the default leaderboards or even your own leaderboards. But I can't fit my mind around how to do it! I tried to use a table and put it in a for loop and go on from there, but my idea didn't work. Can someone help me improve upon my current script?
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerLabel = script.Parent.Parent.PlayerLabel -- this is the label used for all players
local Frame = script.Parent
local plrs = game.Players:GetPlayers()
local current = 0
for _,v in pairs(plrs) do
local pl = PlayerLabel:Clone()
pl.Parent = Frame
pl.Name = v.Name
--[[ so in this loop it creates a gui for every single player in the server. now positioning
each gui is where it gets tricky (and also where i am stuck) (and also ordering from least KOs to most) --]]
prioritytable = {}
for _, player in pairs(plrs) do
for _, compare in pairs(plrs) do
if player.KOs.Value > compare.KOs.Value then
table.insert(prioritytable,[current + 1]player)
end
end
end
end

Create a table outside of the loop so that it can be sorted and displayed. Then, iterate through each player's knock outs value and insert it into the table. The script is inserting a table consisting of the score and the player name. Use the sort() function in the table library to sort the values of the table in ascending order. In order to position the labels, you can have a counter representing the y coordinate of each label and increase it by a set amount on every iteration. Note that the script below uses scale to position the labels.
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerLabel = script.Parent.Parent.PlayerLabel
local Frame = script.Parent
local plrs = game.Players:GetPlayers()
local KnockOutScores = {}
--Get all the player scores
for _ , v in pairs(plrs) do
table.insert(KnockOutScores , {v.KOs.Value , v.Name})
end
table.sort(KnockOutScores , function (a , b) return a[1] < b[1] end)
--KnockOutScores would look something like this:
--{{1 , "Player1"} , {3 , "Player2"} , {5 , "Y0_dude"} , {10 , "laughablehaha"}}
--Position the labels
local currentY = 0
local gap = 0.1 --Change if necessary
local constantX = 0.2 --Example x scale coordinate for each label
for i , v in ipairs(KnockOutScores) do
currentY = currentY + gap
local label = PlayerLabel:clone()
label.Position = UDim2.new(constantX , 0 , currentY , 0)
label.Parent = Frame
label.Name = v[2] --Player name
label.Text = tostring(v[1])
end

try using the GUI.position.Y to see the Y axis and then you can compare the Y axis
