As of my knowedge, unless you want a specific way to sort the table you don't need a second parameter as it sorts from smallest to largest by default. However, if you want to sort in a special way such as from largest to smallest, table.sort() requires a function as a second parameter to sort the array. For example, if I have table :
local t = {
{"Data1", 2},
{"Data4", 4},
{"Data0", 0}
}
and if I were to reorder the table from largest to smallest by second value of each table I would have a function that sorts this.
local t = {
{"Data1", 2},--what I mean by second value is , {"Data1(First Value)",2(Second Value)}
{"Data4", 4},
{"Data0", 0}
}
table.sort(t,--the table I want to sort
function(a,b) --a function to sort the value. by default, it sorts from least to greatest.
return a[2]>b[2] -- if the second value of "A" is greater than "B" then return true
end)
for I,v in pairs(t) do
print(tostring(v[1]).."|"..tostring(v[2]))
end

Were gonna need a lot more context than "Its not working"
?
You need to specify what u want it to do, how it failed, what the error was like, all that information
You need to inform us of what the error is, be descriptive with the errors and such. It will help us fix this.
