i have all the players that login in a list (list/Players)how will i sort players by their score/money within a stat panel
The way I did this in Scream of the Stickster was to change their position in the player list whenever their score changed; that isn't necessarily feasible for you, but it's not a bad idea to try. (This won't work for a situation where people want different sort orders.)
mob/proc rank() // return some function of score and money, like score+money*10
resort() // adjust position in sort order while(Players.Remove(null)); // get rid of dead weight var/i=Players.Find(src) var/mob/M if(!i) return if(i>1) M=Players[i-1] while(M.rank()<rank()) Players[i]=M Players[--i]=src if(i==1) break M=Players[i-1] if(i<Players.len) M=Players[i+1] while(M.rank()>rank()) Players[i]=M Players[++i]=src if(i==Players.len) break M=Players[i+1]
Whenever someone is added to the Players list, just call resort() on them to immediately update their position. This will help keep the list in order.
