Code:
        gt
        for(var/mob/M in List)
            M.battler = src
            M.cut = 1
            M.overlays += M.weaponicon
            icon_state = M.weaponstate
            M.icon_state = "Stance"
            var/first=M.stats["Spd"]
            for(var/mob/O in List)
                var/second=O.stats["Spd"]
                if(first >= second)
                    times++
                    if(times == L.len)
                        List -=M
                        src.People.Remove(M)
                        src.People.Add(M)
                        times = 0
        for(var/mob/M in List)
            goto gt//YA DANG RIGHT I USED GOTO


Problem description:
Alright, so I'm trying to arrange the list People by Spd, and I had no clue how to do it, so I slapped this together. And it completely randomly arranges the people...lawlz I can't exactly figure out why...since I don't really have any clue of what kind of operators and equations would work here. Oh btw, I'm moving them from one list to another.
L = list being moved from
People = list being moved to in arranged by speed.

This is the code I use in my game.

mob
    proc

        Initiatives()
            var/list/M=new()
            for(var/mob/Monsters/m in view(src))
                M.Add(m)
                m.factor=(m.agi+(round(rand(m.luck/2))))+rand(1,30)
            src.factor=(src.agi+(round(rand(src.luck/2))))+rand(1,30)
            for(var/mob/N in src.partylist)
                if(N!=src)
                    N.factor=(N.agi+(round(rand(src.luck/2))))+rand(1,30)
                    M.Add(N)
            M.Add(src)
            var/list/N=new()
            var/mob/b
            for(var/n in M)
                b=src.turnpicker(M)
                N.Add(b)
                M.Remove(b)
            return N

        turnpicker(var/mob/list/M)
            var/mob/N
            for(var/mob/m in M)
                for(var/mob/n in M)
                    if(m.factor>n.factor)
                        if(N)
                            if(m.factor>N.factor)
                                N=m
                        else
                            N=m
                    else
                        if(N)
                            if(n.factor>N.factor)
                                N=n
                        else N=n
            return N


Does that all make sense? If not, just ask about it and I will explain whatever you don't get. (BTW factor is a variable all mobs in my game have.)

Errmmm...don't I have you on MSN...or had?

Very potentially... I have lots of people from BYOND on my MSN... I just don't really have the best internet connection to be on MSN lately... I have a low signal strength, and a whopping 24 Mbps. Which is very high compared to my normal 5.5-12Mpbs :D

Darn, I was thinking I could've asked you questions there.

I get it..sort of...the whole factor bit is a bit...confusing though.

EDIT: No actually I completely understand the turnpicker proc...but the factor thing confuses the flip out of me.

Well, I could sign in and see how things go if you had some questions right now.

Theodis's QuickSort library is a good way to quickly sort lists.
