Hi, the table will already be sorted based on when people join. table.insert will add the player's name at the end of the table. The if statement you have inside of the playeradded function will not work as the player joining will always be the player you need to add to the array.

gtg so i didnt get to test this: Serverscript:

01local sortedPlayers = {}
02 
03local Text = ""
04function getIndex(playerName)
05    for i = 1, #sortedPlayers do
06        if(sortedPlayers[i] = playerName)then
07            return i
08        end
09    end
10end
11 
12game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
13    --player who just entered will never not be player
14    table.insert(sortedPlayers, plr.Name)
15end)
16 
17game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
18    table.remove(sortedPlayers, getIndex(plr.Name))
19end)
20 
21 
22while(wait(1))do
23    Text = "Players: "
24    --loop through the sorted list of players
25    --i is the position in the table 
26    for i = 1, #sortedPlayers do
27        Text = Text .. " " ..sortedPlayers[i]
28    end
29    print(Text)
30end
