Leader boards

hi,

In my plugin, I keep track of a player's kill to death ratio. I would like to add a command that will display the players with the top 5 kill death ratios in order. the only problem is, I need to go and get the kills and deaths from each player, but for every player and comapre them. any idea how I would do this? here is what my config looks like:

Code:

Players:
  1stPlayer:
    kills: 3
    deaths: 3
  2ndPlayer
    kills: 2
    deaths: 6
  3rdPlayer
    kills: 5
    deaths: 2

look at stirante's answer.

 

MrTang thank you, but unfortunately I am not quite good enough to figure out what his code does, because I have never used anything like it before, can you maybe explain what he did?

 

Create the ValueComparator class
Loop through the config and put the name + KD in a HashMap
In your command, sort the Map.
Loop through the Entries for the map and send the top 10 message.
