Work out current position

[Karzama]

Hi,

I've been making a little minigame which has a multiboard that shows you your ingame score as you play. It can be up to 12 players and the multiboard only contains players in the game.

But I was thinking of how to add a "Position" column, so it'd show you what position you are in the game in terms of your score. (1st, 2nd 3rd etc)

I have an idea of how I'd do it but there's probably much more efficient ways of doing it.

So would anyone know of a good way of checking each player's score (ingame variable) and putting them in order of who has the most score? Given that everyone starts with the same score it'd probably be good if players were able to be in equal position with eachother.

Any ideas?
