I found an old script to sort scores.
The problem is that it sorts the wrong way. (biggest number on top, lowest number last)
I tried several things but my scripting skills not that good to solve the problem.
Who can help me.

You don't need it - as there is already a sort method:

Code:
myNumbers = new Array(3,7,2,9,5,9,0)

//lowest to highest
myNumbers.sort(function(a, b){return a-b})

Debug.trace(myNumbers+'\n')


//highest to lowest
myNumbers.sort(function(a, b){return b-a})
Debug.trace(myNumbers)


The function passed as a parameter (inside the brackets) can be customised for more complex solutions but these two sort integers.

Thanks for your reaction.
What do i have to change on my script to get work? :roll:

[code]obs= new Array(t1,t2,t3,t4)//build an array to hold the text objects
//to add more, just create more text boxes, follow the pattern,
//and add them to the array

d= new Array()//this array will hold the text boxes in sorted order
//according to the scores


function sortit()
{
b= new Array()//create an array to hold the sorted scores

c= new Array(sc1,sc2,sc3,sc4)//this array holds the scores unsorted
del =0

//=================================
//for some reason, Opus treats the array of scores as strings
//so we'll change them to numbers
for(i=0;i<c.length;i++)
{
c[i]=String.number(c[i])
}
//=================================

for(i=0;i<c.length;i++)//these nested loops sort the scores and
//their coresponding text objects
{
max=0
for(j=0;j<c.length;j++)
{
if(c[j]<=max)
{
continue
}
else
{
max=c[j]
b[i]=max
del=j
}
tob=obs[j]
d[i]=tob

}
c[del]=0
}
//End nested loops

j=105//Y position of the top text box

for(i=0;i<d.length;i++)//this loop sets the position of the text boxes
//in their sorted order starting at Y position 105
{
d[i].SetPositionY(j,.3,true)
j=j+40//distance between the text box centers
}
}
[/code]

Okay, the function is just for sorting numbers - you need to rearrange the boxes - so I'd just reverse the reshuffle:


Code:
obs= new Array(t1,t2,t3,t4)//build an array to hold the text objects
//to add more, just create more text boxes, follow the pattern,
//and add them to the array

d= new Array()//this array will hold the text boxes in sorted order
//according to the scores


function sortit()
{
b= new Array()//create an array to hold the sorted scores

c= new Array(sc1,sc2,sc3,sc4)//this array holds the scores unsorted
del =0

//=================================
//for some reason, Opus treats the array of scores as strings
//so we'll change them to numbers
for(i=0;i<c.length;i++)

{

c[i]=String.number(c[i])
}
//=================================

for(i=0;i<c.length;i++)//these nested loops sort the scores and
//their coresponding text objects
{
max=0
for(j=0;j<c.length;j++)
{
if(c[j]<=max)
{
continue
}
else
{
max=c[j]
b[i]=max
del=j
}
tob=obs[j]
d[i]=tob

}
c[del]=0
}
//End nested loops

j=105//Y position of the top text box

for(i=d.length-1;i>=0;i--)//this loop sets the position of the text boxes

//in their sorted order starting at Y position 105
{
d[i].SetPositionY(j,.3,true)
j=j+40//distance between the text box centers
}
}


</mack>
