How should i go about listing players on a list by how fast their speed variable is? Like

Tazor 9
Hank 3
Jerry 5

So the list would order

Tazor
Jerry
Hank

How do i also bring up the person next in the list after each of them have finished their turn?

You'll need to use an associative list and then Bubble Sort it. Bubble Sorting is when you sort things according to how big they are, in this case it'll sort based on how high their speed is.

Here's a Bubble Sort proc that'll sort associative lists:

proc/Bubble_Sort(list/L)
    for(var/x = 1,x <= L.len,x++)
        for(var/remain = L.len,remain > 1,remain--)
            if(L[remain-1] < L[remain]) //change this line to if(L[remain-1] > L[remain]) for ascending order.
                L.Swap(remain - 1,remain)
    return L


Your list will have to be like:

var/list/L = list("Tazor"=9,"Hank"=3,"Jerry"=5)
