Code: Select all

types = {
    --put the types here
}
types:sort()

}
--then you can have an alphabetically sorted list
for i=1,#items do
    print(items[i].." - "..itemsandtypes[items[i]])
end
--or a type sorted list

    for j=1, #typesanditems[types[i]] do
        print(typesanditems[types[i]][j].. " - "..types[i]
