[Help]Tables (table.sort for keys)

[Perfect]

Hello, I was trying to make players can only spawn 5 vehicles and If they spawned the 6th one.

Then the 1st will get destroy and The Table will reset.

Here is my Script:-

vehicles = { } 
function spawnVehicle ( myPlayer ) 
if ( not vehicles[myPlayer] ) then 
        vehicles[myPlayer] = {} 
    end 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition ( myPlayer ) 
    local car = createVehicle ( 560, x, y, z ) 
    table.insert(vehicles[myPlayer],car) 
    for k,v in pairs(vehicles[myPlayer] do 
        if (#vehicles[myPlayer] >= 5) then 
            destroyElement(vehicles[myPlayer][1]) 
            table.sort[k] 
        else 
            warpPedIntoVehicle ( myPlayer, car ) 
            outputChatBox("Vehicle Spawned",myPlayer, 0, 255, 0, true) 
            setVehicleLocked ( car, true )  
        end 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "vehCar", spawnVehicle ) 

Can You Guys Please Help Me ?

Why do you want to sort it? An easy way to do this is to use table.remove, it allows you to give an index and it'll shove up all the remaining elements.

"table.remove removes an item from an array, shifting down any remaining integer keys"

Oh, I didn't know that there is something like table.remove exist.

I just have to put

table.remove(vehicles[myPlayer][1]) 

in replace of table.sort ?

And Every other thing is fine ?

vehicles = {} 
  
function spawnVehiclee(myPlayer) 
    if (not vehicles[myPlayer]) then 
        vehicles[myPlayer] = {} 
    end 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition(myPlayer) 
    local car = createVehicle(560, x, y, z) 
    table.insert(vehicles[myPlayer], car) 
    if (#vehicles[myPlayer] > 5) then 
        destroyElement(vehicles[myPlayer][1]) 
        table.remove(vehicles[myPlayer], 1) 
    end 
    warpPedIntoVehicle(myPlayer, car) 
    outputChatBox("Vehicle Spawned", myPlayer, 0, 255, 0, true) 
    setVehicleLocked(car, true) 
end 
addCommandHandler("vehCar", spawnVehiclee)
