How do I perform series of sorting ?

How can one impllement the idea of scoring in simple words?

Lets say that each player has:

Bob - 5 points in 10 seconds

Mike - 10 points in 5 seconds

John - 15 points in 15 seconds

how they can be arranged according to score numbers? And then adressed by name - for further sortings ?

First I thought of putting them into array, sorting and retrivieng back by iid .

Manual says:

[quote:80hspk9q]Sorts the order of elements on an axis in ascending order. Note that in multidimensional arrays this sorts based on the first element on the axis. For example sorting the X axis in a 2D array will sort the order of the columns based on the elements at Y co-ordinate 0, while preserving the contents of each column.

Does it mean that after first sorting they do not preserve corresponding times ?

thanks for help

p.s

I have seen the tut called "Asteroid clone in less than 100 events" that includes scoring, but sorry, no capx to strip what I wanted out of it.

It sounds like the rows get sorted by the first element, so the y=0 element. I don't think sorting will mess up scores etc, as long as each player is on their own x, and y=0 is score, y=1 is the name, y=2 is always the time, y=3 is whatever else. As long as you sort by X axis, Score will be in order, and each score will still be in the same row as the player name and time.

Funny enough, clicking on "reverse x, y, z" button produces unexpected results for me, and finally gets zeroes.

Width - 3, height - 4, depth - 4.
