echo "<tr><th width='180'>Player</th><th width='40'>Won</th><th width='40'>lost</th><th
width='40'>Avg.</th>";
for($i=0;$i<=$counter;$i++){
if ($player_name[$i] != ""){
$avg = ($player_wins[$i]/($player_wins[$i]+$player_loss[$i]));
echo
"<tr><td>".$player_name[$i]."</td><td>".$player_wins[$i]."</td><td>".$player_loss[$i]."</td><td>".round($avg,3)."</td></tr>";

I did read it and Sort() doesn't work cause it throws the other arrays off or don't match up after
the sort.......why don't you try helping someone instead of being an asshole, you took the time to
write your response instead of trying to explain, that makes you an asshole.

rsort($player_wins);

I tried rsort, although it works but just for "$player_wins" but i need to keep the association
with $player_loss and $player_name since they're directly related to each other.

from my old basic language i remembered and use a double loop to get the job done, but i know there
is a much easier way. and thats why i'm asking.

so be it...now, reRTFM and apply some basic comprehension to the endeavor
this time.

well, that's where actually stating the requirements helps...rather than
assuming we can read minds. why not be smarter about the whole thing and not
magically assume that $i will always point to the same data in each
variable's array? gee, how about something like:

$stats = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < count($player_names); $i++)
{
$stats[$player_names[$i]] = array(
'WINS' => $player_wins[$i] ,
'LOSES' => $player_loss[$i] ,
'AVG' => $player_wins[$i] /
(
$player_wins[$i] +
$player_loss[$i]
)
)
}

now do your sorting. if you're about to bitch cuz i didn't show you how to
sort scores here, you truly are comatose. just cuz ur new doesn't mean you
can't think! that just may be a constant condition for you regardless of
experience...but, i digress.

That's not what you asked but never mind

That sounds like a bubble sort (plenty of examples around). However you
still don't give us enough info. Where do these arrays come from? If
they come from a database then the simplest method would be to sort the
records before the output. Even if you don't use a database I still
think you can start to tackle the problem a lot further back.
