问题
I have next structure
self.modules = {
["Announcements"] = {
priority = 0,
-- Tons of other attributes
},
["Healthbar"] = {
priority = 40,
-- Tons of other attributes
},
["Powerbar"] = {
priority = 35,
-- Tons of other attributes
},
}
I need to sort this table by priorty DESC, other values does not matter. E.g. Healthbar first, then Powerbar, and then going all others.
// edit.
Keys must be preserved.
// edit #2
Found a solution, thanks you all.
local function pairsByPriority(t)
local registry = {}
for k, v in pairs(t) do
tinsert(registry, {k, v.priority})
end
tsort(registry, function(a, b) return a[2] > b[2] end)
local i = 0
local iter = function()
i = i + 1
if (registry[i] ~= nil) then
return registry[i][1], t[registry[i][1]]
end
return nil
end
return iter
end

You can't sort a records table because entries are ordered internally by Lua and you can't change the order.
An alternative is to create an array where each entry is a table containing two fields (name and priority) and sort that table instead something like this:
self.modulesArray = {}
for k,v in pairs(self.modules) do
v.name = k --Store the key in an entry called "name"
table.insert(self.modulesArray, v)
end
table.sort(self.modulesArray, function(a,b) return a.priority > b.priority end)
for k,v in ipairs(self.modulesArray) do
print (k,v.name)
end
Output:
1 Healthbar 40
2 Powerbar 35
3 Announcements 0
