What's the best way to arrange values of variables from greatest to lowest? Let's say that it's for the purpose of writing to a file. The variables would be in the following format: --- Code: ---$var[a] = 41; $var[b] = 32; $var[c] = 54; --- End code --- and the written file would look something like this: --- Code: ---c - 54 a - 41 b - 32 --- End code --- And etc. Any help would be appreciated. I do know how to do basic File I/O and string manipulation, so you guys don't have to explain that in depth. |

There are several different ways of doing this numerically, the best of them (in my opinion) being a method called Heap Sort I'm not exactly sure how to code it in torque, but i'm sure there are plenty of resources online in easily-translated languages like C#. |

What I really need help with is getting all of my values into a heap to be able to do that |
| Ipquarx:
The heapsort would do that for you. You just put everything in a array, and have it run on that array in the same function. |

Some actual code would be helpful |
