i had waiting so long for this work, i need to be able to create a score system where actors move into position according to their points, for example in football competition, i have group A with 4 teams, during or after games i want this four teams to be in order from top to bottom depending on their wins vs losses. some one helped me on this but i had a problem when 2 teams had the same wins and losses

    You'll run into the same logical issues with a table as you did otherwise, but the tables may simplify the storage and access of the data. When two teams have the same wins and losses, the best idea I have is to sort them by which actor runs its code first and have a few extra attributes such as slot1used,slot2used,slot3used,slot4used to determine if you have to use a different slot than you thought. These could be placed in a table if you like but honestly 4 booleans sounds better to me. Without some sort of conditional statement to limit the use of two slots at the same time, it doesn't matter how you store the data.

    ok thanks i will try that i think i have a idea now, just one thing, the file someone send me was made without table, ,and there is a bunch or rules, like when team1 wins are greater than team2,team3,team 4 change position to spot1, then when team1 wins are greater than team2,team3 but lower than team 4 change position to spot2 and so on .for every single team i have to do this,and i don't think copy and paste will work, if i use tables, will i use this same type of rules? i have never use tables so i really don't know how to use them. i thought with tables it will work like excel when you can arrange by higher value.

    Tables do not give you access to additional sort methods, that is something you have to do on your own. Start by watching tshirtbooth's tutorial on tables, it should help get a few things cleared up on basic table usage. You will have to re-write the rules and change how it works completely to take advantage of tables.
