here is the .capx

codah thank you and i will try the alternate way, if that doesn't work then i will send the .capx if i can figure out how to do that. thank you once again

i want to create a dnd like initiative order where the players score gets put into an array and then sorted by that number. i also want to attach the name to the number but when i do it sorts alpha-numerically rather than just numerically. if someone coould show me an example of how to do that i would greatly appreciate it, as i have been struggling with it for about a week.

Have you tried separating each link with a ; semicolon. That was how i had to separate my items. it might work for your case as well.

Okay, now when i sort my array, it displays 10 as less than 1, not greater than nine. What do i do?

EDIT: I have found a way around it, but still would like to know what i did wrong?

Thank you for the links, as I now have an understanding of what to do. i really appreciate all of the help.

Thank you both for replying and the array makes sense now. But can I sort both columns only using the column for speed? If so can someone explain that process

First, I want to be able to input a player name and a speed for the character.

Then the enemy's speed is randomly generated.

Then have the order sorted by the speed of each character.

This dictates when it is each characters turn.

Just so you know I have tried to use an array. I don't seem to understand the concept behind them, much less how to use them correctly. If someone can help me understand how to use an array, that would be very helpful. Thank you.
