Sort a List for top 10

very simple I want to take a yml list...

Code:

user: 0
user: 2
user: 0
user: 5
user: 0
user: 1
user: 6

and Sort it as a top 10 List and display it back by command. I simply need to know how to pull the list and sort it and send it back to the player.

 

So you want a list:

Code:

ListName:
- Entry 1
- Entry 2
- Entry 3

or just key/value mapping:

Code:

Entry1: A
Entry2: B
Entry3: C

in your yaml file?

 

I already have the lists I want to pull the data from the list and sort it. So if I done /top.

Code:

user: 0
user: 2
user: 0
user: 5
user: 0
user: 1
user: 6

Would be displayed as
user: 6
user: 5
user: 2
user: 1

 

I used something simulair to this, I had an list of winners in the same Map notation as your list is, and I needed the top 5 players of it, this is what I did:

code (open) code (close)

Code:java

static void broadcastWinners(String world, String name, Map<String, Integer> winners)
	{
		if (winners.isEmpty())
		{
			FerryEggRoulettePlugin.broadcastMessage("This time, there where no winners at the egg roulette named '" + name + "'");
			return;
		}
		SortedSet<PlayerDataComparable> players = new TreeSet<PlayerDataComparable>();
		for (Map.Entry<String, Integer> i : winners.entrySet())
		{
			players.add(new PlayerDataComparable(i.getKey(), i.getValue()));
			economy.depositPlayer(i.getKey(), i.getValue().doubleValue());
			Player winner = Bukkit.getPlayerExact(i.getKey());
			if (winner != null)
			{
				sendMessage("You won, your money is now: " + moneyFormat(economy.getBalance(i.getKey())));
			}
		}
		Iterator<PlayerDataComparable> i = players.iterator();
		int counter = 0;
		while (i.hasNext() && counter < ChatPaginator.CLOSED_CHAT_PAGE_HEIGHT)
		{
			PlayerDataComparable next = i.next();
			broadcastMessage("Congrats " + next.getPlayer() + " for winning " + moneyFormat(next.getPrize()) + " at the place '" + name + "'");
			counter++;
		}
		if (i.hasNext())
		{
			broadcastMessage("Congrats 'more people' for winning at the place '" + name + "'");
		}
 
	}

Code:java

public final class PlayerDataComparable implements Comparable<PlayerDataComparable>, Cloneable, java.io.Serializable

	private final int prize;
 
	public PlayerDataComparable(String player, int prize)
	{
		this.player = player;
		this.prize = prize;
	}
 
	@Override
	public int compareTo(PlayerDataComparable o)
	{
		if (o.prize > this.prize)
		{
			return -1;
		}
		if (o.prize < this.prize)
		{
			return 1;
		}
		return String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER.compare(this.player, o.player);
	}
 
	@Override
	public boolean equals(Object obj)
	{
		if (obj == null)
		{
			return false;
		}
		if (getClass() != obj.getClass())
		{
			return false;
		}
		final PlayerDataComparable other = (PlayerDataComparable) obj;
		if ((this.player == null) ? (other.player != null) : !this.player.equals(other.player))
		{
			return false;
		}
		if (this.prize != other.prize)
		{
			return false;
		}
		return true;
	}
 
	@Override
	public int hashCode()
	{
		return this.player.hashCode() ^ this.prize;
	}
 
	@Override
	public String toString()
	{
		return "PlayerDataComparable{"
			+ "player=" + player
			+ ", prize=" + prize
			+ '}';
	}
 
	@Override
	public PlayerDataComparable clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException
	{
		return (PlayerDataComparable) super.clone();
	}
 
	public String getPlayer()
	{
		return player;
	}
 
	public int getPrize()
	{
		return prize;
	}
}
 

I hope you under stand it and are able to rewrite it based on your list
The following part of the code broadcasted the winnars in chat:

Code:java

Iterator<PlayerDataComparable> i = players.iterator();
		int counter = 0;
		while (i.hasNext() && counter < ChatPaginator.CLOSED_CHAT_PAGE_HEIGHT)
		{
			PlayerDataComparable next = i.next();
			broadcastMessage("Congrats " + next.getPlayer() + " for winning " + moneyFormat(next.getPrize()) + " at the place '" + name + "'");
			counter++;
		}
		if (i.hasNext())
		{
			broadcastMessage("Congrats 'more people' for winning at the place '" + name + "'");
		}

 

What you show is a key/value mapping... So I'll give you hints about that:
First read it in and save it to a HashMap. For that you need to loop though all keys and get its values:

Code:java

HashMap<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
Configuration config = getConfig();
for(String key: config.getKeys()) // loop over all keys...
    map.add(key, config.getInt(key)); //...and save them together with their value to the map.

Last you need a TreeMap and a Comperator that holds the sorted result and glue it all together:

Code:java

TreeMap<String, Integer> sortedMap = new TreeMap<String, Integer>(Ordering.natural().onResultOf(Functions.forMap(map)).compound(Ordering.natural()));
sortedMap.putAll(map);

I hope I didn't forget anything as I didn't work with TreeMap/Comperators for some time...

BTW: You probably want to do all this work in onEnable() and store the TreeMap globally for later access.
