ok.. so ive run into a problem.. i thought something was going to work..but it didnt.. its starting to frustrate me... i need help..

ok.. so say i have a list..
1000,2000,3000,4000,5000,6000,7000,8000,9000,11000

i used llListSort

now my expectations was to have the 11000 list down to 1000...

the problem is.. using list sort it makes 9000 the top number because it begins with 9.. it doesnt take the actual number size into effect.. what do i do?

how do i take a list of numbers and sort them properly from highest to lowest?

actually to be hoenst the list actually lists the number first.. then the key of the person..

like 1000;key 2000;key ect...

but it should still take those numbers into effect first right?
they key of the person has to stay associated with the number

heres what i did.. i know its sloppy... sorry..

Are the numbers in the list integers, floats, or strings?

the item comes in as a string and gets added to the list.

so the string will be like

12345

playerkey)

so it will be added to the list players = players + string

after 10 messages come in the list sorts them with the script you see above

even thou i have a problem sorting the numbers.. im even more confused now how ill keep the keys with the corosponding numbers they came in with.. i was hoping the list sort was going to be the easy way in

hmm, i know with vectors it has trouble converting strings to vectors when using llList2Vector, the work around for that is (vector)llList2String.....convert the list entry back to a string and cast it into a vector.......

you may need to do the same thing for the integer.....
........(integer)llList2String.....etc

ok i think i got it.. so what i did .. is at each reception of the string .. i seperated the message into a string and an integer.. and then placed them in as a string and an integer insted of a string.

then i strided the list by 2

if you sort the list as integers.. it sorts properly..
if your sort them as string.. they sort by first number..

that's good, but does it sort the names with it?

yes if you sort it with a stride of 2.. it basicly sorts every other with the one next to it..

sorting a list of numbers properly.....
