	~~{{Useful Function}}~~
	~~__NOTOC__~~
	~~This function sorts tables by index numerically from largest to smallest or from smallest to largest.~~
	~~Its also useful for removing gaps from your table.~~
	~~<br>~~
	~~'''Important : WORKS ONLY FOR TABLES WITH NUMERIC INDEXES!'''~~
	~~<br>~~

	~~==Syntax==~~
	~~<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">table table.sortNumerically( table theTable, bool fromHighestToLowest = false )</syntaxhighlight>~~

	~~===Required Arguments===~~
	* '''theTable''': the table you would like to sort.
	~~===Optional Arguments===~~
	* '''fromHighestToLowest''': a bool representing whether the table is to be sorted by index from highest to lowest or lowest to highest.
	~~===Returns===~~
	~~Returns sorted table.~~

	~~===Author===~~

	~~==Code==~~
	~~<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">~~
	~~function table.sortNumerically(theTable, fromHighestToLowest)~~
	~~local sortTable = { }~~
	~~for k, v in pairs(theTable) do~~
	~~table.insert(sortTable, {k, v})~~
	~~end~~

	~~table.sort(sortTable, function(a,b)~~
	~~local result = a[1]<b[1]~~
	~~if fromHighestToLowest then~~
	~~result = a[1]>b[1]~~
	~~end~~
	~~return result~~
	~~end)~~

	~~theTable = {}~~

	~~for k,v in ipairs(sortTable) do~~
	~~table.insert(theTable, v[2])~~
	~~end~~
	~~return theTable~~
	~~end~~
	~~</syntaxhighlight>~~

	~~==Example==~~
	~~The code below will print the table in the correct sorted order.~~
	~~<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">~~
	~~local theTable = {[3] = "Dino", [1] = "Doll", [2] = "Car",[6] = "Rattle", [4] = "Dog", [5] = "Boat"}~~
	~~local theTable2 = {[3] = "Dino", [1] = "Doll", [9] = "Rattle", [4] = "Dog"}~~

	~~local sortedTable = table.sortNumerically(theTable, true)~~
	~~iprint(sortedTable) -- {"Rattle", "Boat", "Dog", "Dino", "Car", "Doll"}~~

	~~local sortedTable2 = table.sortNumerically(theTable, false)~~
	~~iprint(sortedTable2) -- {"Doll", "Car", "Dino", "Dog", "Boat", "Rattle"}~~

	~~local sortedTable3 = table.sortNumerically(theTable2, false)~~
	~~iprint(sortedTable3) -- {"Doll", "Dino", "Dog", "Rattle"}~~
	~~</syntaxhighlight>~~
