Hi all
I have made this stats lookup for my webpage but i need help !!! I cant get it to sort properly. This is to record our kills and deaths at our clans lan party’s.

you can view the page here http://www.theoaps.co.uk/Support%20Files/OLAN31307swf.swf

xml code :

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<olan date="31307">
    <player first="Dunkyb123" teamscore="10" kills="1" deaths="2" score="28" />
    <player first="Captain Sausage" teamscore="30" kills="19" deaths="4" score="24" />
    <player first="Fat Pants" teamscore="8" kills="18" deaths="6" score="20" />
    <player first="Hammer66" teamscore="7" kills="17" deaths="8" score="16" />
    <player first="Woolmer" teamscore="6" kills="16" deaths="10" score="12" />
    <player first="Discotoe" teamscore="5" kills="15" deaths="12" score="8" />
    <player first="Tammyb" teamscore="4" kills="14" deaths="14" score="4" />
    <player first="Angrytoad" teamscore="3" kills="13" deaths="16" score="0" />
    <player first="Starman_uk8" teamscore="2" kills="12" deaths="18" score="-4" />
    <player first="Ianuk" teamscore="1" kills="11" deaths="20" score="-8" />
    <player first="Beaver44" teamscore="2" kills="10" deaths="22" score="-10" />
    <player first="Rogue Spear" teamscore="3" kills="9" deaths="24" score="-12" />
    <player first="TrooperTooke" teamscore="4" kills="8" deaths="26" score="-14" />
</olan>

flash code :

PopulateLists = function(xml_array){
    name_txt.text = teamscore_txt.text = kills_txt.text = deaths_txt.text = score_tx.text = "";
    for (var i=0; i<xml_array.length; i++){
        var student = xml_array*.attributes;
        name_txt.text += student.first + "
";
        teamscore_txt.text += student.teamscore + "
";
        kills_txt.text += student.kills + "
";
        death_txt.text += student.deaths + "
";
        score_txt.text += student.score + "
";
        }
}
var students_array;
var grades_xml = new XML();
grades_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
grades_xml.onLoad = function(success){
    if (success){
        var grades = this.firstChild;
        students_array = grades.childNodes;
        PopulateLists(students_array);
    }else trace("Error loading XML file.");
}

grades_xml.load("olan31307.xml");

FIRST_SORT = function(a,b){
    return a.attributes.first > b.attributes.first;
}
TSCORE_SORT = function(a,b){
    return parseFloat(a.attributes.teamscore) < parseFloat(b.attributes.teamscore);
}
KILL_SORT = function(a,b){
    return parseFloat(a.attributes.kills) < parseFloat(b.attributes.kills);
}
DEATH_SORT = function(a,b){
    return parseFloat(a.attributes.deaths) < parseFloat(b.attributes.deaths);
}
OSCORE_SORT = function(a,b){
        return parseFloat(a.attributes.score) < parseFloat(b.attributes.score);
}

var current_sort;
SortListBy = function(sortType){
    if (current_sort == sortType){
        students_array.reverse();
    }else{
        students_array.sort(sortType);
    }
    current_sort = sortType;
    PopulateLists(students_array);
}

name_btn.onRelease = function(){
    SortListBy(FIRST_SORT);
}
tscore_btn.onRelease = function(){
    SortListBy(TSCORE_SORT);
}
kill_btn.onRelease = function(){
    SortListBy(KILL_SORT);
}
death_btn.onRelease = function(){
    SortListBy(DEATH_SORT);
}
oscore_btn.onRelease = function(){
    SortListBy(OSCORE_SORT);
}

i have all the infomation loaded into the right text box’s but i cant get the byttons to sort the content into numerical order. And the last 2 columns seem to duplicate its own data when you click the columns sort button. :ex:

I really cant find what i have done wrong or am doing wrong. All feed back is needed. :wasted:

Thanks
