If you don't understand, I have a set of about 100 Parts in order in a line. I want to name them starting at 1 to 100. How could I do this without wasting an hour? I don't know if it's possible, but please give some suggestions! :)

partsTable = game.Workspace.Model:GetChildren()
for i = 2, #partsTable do
local key = partsTable[i]
j = i - 1
while (j >= 1 and partsTable[j].Position.Z > key.Position.Z)do
partsTable[j + 1] = partsTable[j];
j = j - 1;
end
partsTable[j + 1] = key;
end
for i, v in ipairs(partsTable)do
v.Name = i
end

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that the parts aren't in a straight line, It is in the shape of a roller coaster without track. It has hills and turns. This is my first post so I'm kind of confused still. I have all the parts already in place, I just would like a way to name them in order. Sorry!

Basically sorts the parts in a table based on their position in the workspace and names them

So the script itself works, however it names the numbers in a random order. I might be doing something wrong with the axis though.

It might be because the parts have a rotation?

oof. I just tried it out on a complete coaster model and its all mixed up. I think if I mess with the axis by making the coaster turn, its messing it up

the code above only works on one axis. i'm studying for an exam right now but if you send me the roller coaster model i can try to get it working for all axis

are they all the same part or different parts?
and are they all the same distance away from each other
They all look the same, they are all touching each other but not merging.
