-- What you can do is iterate over the table in some order. The basic pairs gives you no guarantee of the order in which the keys are visited. Here is a customized version of pairs, which I called spairs because it iterates over the table in a sorted order:

function spairs(t, order) local keys = {} for k in pairs(t) do keys[#keys+1] = k end

if order then
    table.sort(keys, function(a,b) return order(t, a, b) end)
else
    table.sort(keys)
end

local i = 0
return function()
    i = i + 1
    if keys[i] then
        return keys[i], t[keys[i]]
    end
end

end

-- Here is an example of use of such function:

HighScore = { Robin = 8, Jon = 10, Max = 11 }

-- basic usage, just sort by the keys for k,v in spairs(HighScore) do print(k,v) end --> Jon 10 --> Max 11 --> Robin 8

-- this uses an custom sorting function ordering by score descending for k,v in spairs(HighScore, function(t,a,b) return t[b] < t[a] end) do print(k,v) end --> Max 11 --> Jon 10 --> Robin 8
