What UIListLayouts do is automatically position any GUI objects in its range in a list

#

So it would look kind of like this:

#

Before:

#

After:

ashen tapir Jul 25, 2024, 5:33 AM

#

how do i use it?

vernal garden Jul 25, 2024, 5:34 AM

#

Just take the UIListLayout instance from the plus menu and put it in the folder that contains all of the GUI objects you want to place

#

For your use case, I don't think you'd even have to change any of its properties and junk

ashen tapir Jul 25, 2024, 5:35 AM

OHH

If you change the sort order type to layout order then change the layout order property of the GUI objects to the order you want them to appear in, you can manually set the sort

ashen tapir Jul 25, 2024, 5:50 AM

#

vernal garden If you change the sort order type to layout order then change the layout order p...

alright cool

#

wait jedi

vernal garden Jul 25, 2024, 5:50 AM

#

What I would do if you want to filter them by ranks is to put all the players in a table, sort the table using table.sort, then systematically increase the layout order of each object

ashen tapir Jul 25, 2024, 5:50 AM

#

ashen tapir wait jedi
