How To Find Table Value's Position?

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:
local sortedPlayers = {}
local Text = ""
function getIndex(playerName)
for i = 1, #sortedPlayers do
if(sortedPlayers[i] = playerName)then
return i
end
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
--player who just entered will never not be player
table.insert(sortedPlayers, plr.Name)
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
table.remove(sortedPlayers, getIndex(plr.Name))
end)
while(wait(1))do
Text = "Players: "
--loop through the sorted list of players
--i is the position in the table
for i = 1, #sortedPlayers do
Text = Text .. " " ..sortedPlayers[i]
end
print(Text)
end

pls mark it as solved and upvote since it worked
Script:
--By enes223
local Remote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("UserSender")
local Players = {}
local Text = ""
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
if not Players[plr.Name] then
table.insert(Players,plr.Name)
for i,v in pairs(Players) do
Text = Text..v..","
Remote:FireClient(plr,Text)
Remote:FireAllClients(Text)
end
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
if Players[plr.Name] then
Players[plr.Name] = nil
for i,v in pairs(Players) do
Text = Text..v..","
Remote:FireAllClients(Text)
end
end
end)
Local Script:
--By enes223
local Sorter = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Sorter")
local Remote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("UserSender")
local U1,U2,U3,U4,U5 = script.Parent.User1,script.Parent.User2,script.Parent.User3,script.Parent.User4,script.Parent.User5
local I1,I2,I3,I4,I5 = U1.Index,U2.Index,U3.Index,U4.Index,U5.Index
local SortedTable = {}
local Indexes = {I1,I2,I3,I4,I5}
function Seperate(Text,Seperator)
local SubNumber = 1
local Line = Text:sub(1,SubNumber)
repeat
Line = Text:sub(1,SubNumber)
SubNumber = SubNumber + 1
until Line:find(Seperator)
if Line:find(Seperator) then
return Line:gsub(Seperator,"")
end
end
function Init(Text)
if not Text:find(",") then
for i,v in pairs(SortedTable) do
for j,k in pairs(Indexes) do
local Index = #Indexes
if k.Value == Index then
k.Parent.Image = game.Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(game.Players[v].UserId,Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot,Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size60x60)
k.Parent.User.Text = v
Index = Index - 1
end
end
end
else
if not SortedTable[Seperate(Text,",")] then
SortedTable[Seperate(Text,",")] = Seperate(Text,",")
Text = Text:gsub(Seperate(Text,",")..",","")
Init(Text)
end
end
end
Remote.OnClientEvent:connect(function(Text)
Init(Text)
end)

This an xy problem. You actually want to sort player join order but you instead ask how to find a table's value position
