how can I easily sort this table by keys? it is necessary that it displays not a key and a value, but a sorted table
for example
local mytable = {
["name10"] = 6,
["name9"] = 10,
["name8"] = 8,
["name7"] = 4,
["name6"] = 1,
["name5"] = 7,
["name4"] = 2,
["name3"] = 3,
["name2"] = 5,
["name1"] = 9
}
it needs to return this
local sorted_table = {
["name9"] = 10,
["name1"] = 9,
["name8"] = 8,
["name5"] = 7,
["name10"] = 6,
["name2"] = 5,
["name7"] = 4,
["name3"] = 3,
["name4"] = 2,
["name6"] = 1
}
i was looking for a solution to this problem, but everywhere it gave out exactly the key and the value separately, not the table
Just make list, not table as :
local mytable = {
{name = "name10", value = 6},
[name = "name9", value = 10},
[name = "name8", value = 8},
}
and then sort it as usually:
function compareValuesBackwards(a,b)
return a.value > b.value
end
table.sort(items, compareValuesBackwards)
