        <SERIAL_B4760ED9F491634C91ACEAF3DB31FCB2 wins="2" points="120" second="6" third="0" nick="[Evo]joshter50"></SERIAL_B4760ED9F491634C91ACEAF3DB31FCB2>

you can Use table.sort

--server side

local amountOfTopsToDisplay = 3 -- how many tops you need 
  
addCommandHandler("top", 
    function(player, command, value) 
        local file = xmlLoadFile("users.xml") -- load file 
        if file then -- if file exists

                    subTable.name = xmlNodeGetAttribute(v, "nick") -- name goes in subTable 
                    subTable.data = xmlNodeGetAttribute(v, value) -- data goes in subTable 
                    table.insert(tableOrder, subTable) -- subTable is inserted in bigger table 
                    subTable = {} -- empty subTable for next loop 
                end 
                table.sort(tableOrder, function(a,b) return tonumber(a.data) > tonumber(b.data) end) -- put data in order 
                outputChatBox("Displaying top "..value, player, 255,255,255,true) 
                for i,v in ipairs(tableOrder) do -- loop the sorted table  
                    outputChatBox(i..": "..v.name.." - "..v.data, player, 255,255,255,true) -- display in order 
                    if i == amountOfTopsToDisplay then break end -- when enough tops has been shown, break it 
                end 
            else 
                outputChatBox("Syntax : /top [wins|points|second|third]", player, 255,255,255,true) -- show the correct syntax if he got it wrong 
            end 
        xmlUnloadFile(file) -- unload the file from memory 
        end 
    end 
) 

Tested, works =)

@karthik184: It would be nice if you would add comments, you know, what does each line, I guess it would be helpful for him.

thank you so much i understand how table.sort works!

but in this code i have got this error;

top.lua:19: atempt to concantenate field 'data' (a boolean value) 

i dont know why i got this error

[Kenix]

Your field 'data' in table is boolean value. If you know lua you can understand this.

So this line (12) return boolean value

subTable.data = xmlNodeGetAttribute(v, value)

Hello, please, fix error in 19 line. And if add this code to client, for send values to GUI, he will work? Or I must use this through triggerServerEvent?
