Ranking computer players in game

[DisneyBoy]

I am making a business sim, where at the end of the week, I
need to list the player as well as the computer competitors
in their rank of winning.
I have all the work done as to how they achieve their positions, and assign their ranking, but what I need to know
is how do I organize their rankings from 1-6, assign these rankings, and then assign the name of the competitor to that
ranking so I can transfer the string to the end of week screen.
I have six competitors listed as 1-6, and need to make the one with the highest rating #1, second #2, and so on. Thank you for any help you can give me.

You could use the list object to add the competitors names, ie:

1 - Ben
2 - Scott
3 - Michelle
4 - Katy
5 - Mike
6 - Lemon

By having the "Sort" property turned on it will automatically put them in the right order, so that you can simply add the players individually in any order.

Then you have a string that displays:

 List Line Text$( "List", 1)+NewLine$
+List Line Text$( "List", 2)+NewLine$
+List Line Text$( "List", 3)+NewLine$
+List Line Text$( "List", 4)+NewLine$
+List Line Text$( "List", 5)+NewLine$
+List Line Text$( "List", 6)

(Using 1-based index). This is really just "Display Line 1 plus a new line, then display line 2 plus a new line...". You could also use 6 strings if you wanted to.

If you just want their names, and not the numbers then you can use:

Mid$(List Line Text$( "List", 1), 3, 99) + NewLine$ + ...

(Cuts off the first 3 characters of the line)

You can also use Right$() to get the whole right except the left 3 characters.
