table.SortByMember does nothing?

[OMGOMG132]

So I have a 'config 'table: [url]http://pastebin.com/zxZLPWSz[/url]

And I want to iterate through it in order: [lua]
local houses_table = RP_world_properties
table.SortByMember(houses_table, "id")
for k,v in pairs(houses_table) do
//code
end
[/lua]

But once it iterates it goes in a completely different order, how to do this? (note, the iterate function and where the table is stored & defined are seperate files).

You can't really sort a table with non-numeric keys.

for k, v in SortedPairsByMemberValue( houses_table, "id" ) do
  ...
end

This might work.

If not, you're going to have to remove the string keys and just let them be numeric instead.

-snip- doesn't contain numeric indices

[QUOTE=Melted Bu11et;47985328]Use ipairs instead of pairs, I think that pairs doesn't go through the table in any particular order while ipairs goes in order[/QUOTE]

ipairs doesn't work on non-numeric keys

Yeah I should've read the code a bit more, I just assumed he was trying to use the doors table within each of these subtables or whatever which had numeric indices

Oh hey, thanks for this, this works, I thought you could only used 'in pairs' I didnt know there were more of these.
