In my program there will be a few leaderboards or points tables really and I wondered what's the easiest way of doing this in my tier 1 program. Basically I want up to 26 ever changing variables printed using Createtext command in order from highest to lowest. Thanks for any help

Are you asking for a complete design? Your request is somewhat vague.

This post has a good starting point for the basics of a leader board. You would want to do some mods to support the detail you want in your leader board.

Sorry if my post was a bit confusing, to try and put it simple.. Say I have 20 variables called driver1ptstotal, driver2ptstotal, driver3ptstotal etc up to 20, and each variable can have a different value, how can I get my program to list them in order highest first from top to bottom using Createtext,str to print each variable. All I can think of doing is checking whether one variable is higher then rest using if > then but this would be so long winded

It would easier to use an array of UDTs, where the UDT has two entities, one is the score and the other is the name. Then, whenever a score changes, you can do a simple sorting of the array, look up boolean sorting. Then you just display starting with the first element in your array until the end.

You really need to use an array or a list. Using simple variables like this makes it hard do sorts. As you say, it would pages of code, but just a few lines with an array.

You need to do a sort. Sorts can ONLY be done on arrays or lists, unless you have a trivial case of three or four elements.
