Question Sorting player stats with two conditions

Hi there,

I'm trying to rank players (1st, 2nd, 3rd, ...). The players can have diamonds and coins, which are currently stored in two different arrays. How would I sort these two arrays, so that coins are less important than diamonds, but if a player has diamonds and coins, the player with the most diamonds AND coins will be first? All other players would be ranked in descending order.

Thanks for any help, it is much appreciated!

Cheers Tim

 

I have this variant, this is the first stuff that was in my mind. I'm not sure how to translate this into two arrays, I'm not sure is it even possible to make one sort dependant on another. But you can just make some class like PlayerData which will contain the info and create an array of this PlayerData.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. var playersData = new PlayerData[diamonds.Length];
3.  
4. for(int i = 0; i < diamonds.Length; i++)
5. {
6.     var data = playersData[i];
7.     data.Diamonds = diamonds[i];
8.     data.Coins = coins[i]
9. }
10.  
11. var ordered = from data in playersData
12.                     orderby data.Diamonds descending,
13.                         data.Coins descending
14.                     select data;

 

Thanks for your answer! Could not replicate your solution to 100%, but you gave me an idea and I solved it a bit differently:

Code (CSharp):

1. IEnumerable < Player > query = players.OrderByDescending(Player => Player.Diamonds).ThenByDescending(Player => Player.Coins);
2.  
3.         foreach (Player player in query)
4.         {
5.             Debug.Log(player.Diamonds+"// "+player.Coins);
6.         }
