Arrange the order of the tools in a player's backpack?
Is there a way to set the order of the tools in a player's backpack via a script?

You didn’t specify how you want the tools to be sorted. By name? Type? Damage? T0XN 276 — 6y

Tools are sorted by the order they arrive to the backpack, then manually if chosen. So your best option would be to remove all tools then instantly parent them back in the order you want. For example, alphabetical order:
local tools = player.Backpack:GetChildren()
for _,v in ipairs(player.Character:GetChildren()) do
if v.ClassName=="Tool" then
tools[#tools+1]=v
end
end
table.sort(tools,function(a,b) return a.Name<b.Name end)
for _,t in ipairs(tools) do t.Parent=nil end
wait()
for _,t in ipairs(tools) do t.Parent=player.Backpack end
For anything better you gotta make a custom backpack

I would like to know too if there is a good way.
But yeah, all I can think of, is to remove all items and add them one by one in the order you want. :P

because it sets the order of the tools in a player's backpack via a script. why would you put this as a comment? Nonaz_jr 439 — 6y

You could probably GetChildren() the backpack, .Parent=nil the tools, sort the table with table.sort and then parent them back. optiplex123 21 — 6y
