在Lua中对表格进行排序 [英] Sort a Table[] in Lua

问题描述

我有一个要排序的Lua表.该表的格式如下:

I have a Lua table that I am trying to sort. The table's format is as follows:

tableOfKills[PlayerName] = NumberOfKills

例如，这意味着，如果我有一个名为Robin的玩家，总共杀死了8个玩家，而另一个名为Jon的玩家，总共杀死了10个，那么该表将是:

Which means, for example, if I had a player named Robin with a total of 8 kills and another named Jon with a total of 10 kills, the table would be:

tableOfKills[Robin] = 8
tableOfKills[Jon]   = 10

我该如何对这种类型的表进行排序以首先显示出最高的杀伤力?预先感谢！

How would I sort that type of table to show the highest kills first? Thanks in advance!

推荐答案

Lua中的表是一组具有唯一键的键-值映射.这些对以任意顺序存储，因此该表不会以任何方式排序.

A table in Lua is a set of key-value mappings with unique keys. The pairs are stored in arbitrary order and therefore the table is not sorted in any way.

您可以按顺序在表格上进行迭代.基本的pairs不能保证键的访问顺序.这是pairs的自定义版本，之所以称为spairs，是因为它按已排序的顺序遍历表:

What you can do is iterate over the table in some order. The basic pairs gives you no guarantee of the order in which the keys are visited. Here is a customized version of pairs, which I called spairs because it iterates over the table in a sorted order:

function spairs(t, order)
    -- collect the keys
    local keys = {}
    for k in pairs(t) do keys[#keys+1] = k end

    -- if order function given, sort by it by passing the table and keys a, b,
    -- otherwise just sort the keys 
    if order then
        table.sort(keys, function(a,b) return order(t, a, b) end)
    else
        table.sort(keys)
    end

    -- return the iterator function
    local i = 0
    return function()
        i = i + 1
        if keys[i] then
            return keys[i], t[keys[i]]
        end
    end
end

以下是使用此功能的示例:

Here is an example of use of such function:

HighScore = { Robin = 8, Jon = 10, Max = 11 }

-- basic usage, just sort by the keys
for k,v in spairs(HighScore) do
    print(k,v)
end
--> Jon     10
--> Max     11
--> Robin   8

-- this uses an custom sorting function ordering by score descending
for k,v in spairs(HighScore, function(t,a,b) return t[b] < t[a] end) do
    print(k,v)
end
--> Max     11
--> Jon     10
--> Robin   8
