Re: GC7V5NZ - Earth caches in Czechia, every state
it's simple
ones you collect all qualified caches and save it in the array by region, you make this loop for making the list:
[code]
for group,groupData in pairs(regionGroups) do
[/code]
but attention, inserting the data to generic array, the pairs iterator returns the data in alphabetic order of keys
[code]

aaa aaa
third
abc abc
first
der def
second
[/code]
so, you should make a separate list of regions (indexed by numeric keys) :
[code]
if (groupData == nil) then -- create new data structure for Region
groupData = {}
groupData["qual"] = {}
groupData["find_counter"] = 0
regionGroups[groupKey] = groupData
table.insert(regionGroupsList, groupKey) -- added line
[/code]
and get the regions in order by this list:
[code]
for _,group in ipairs(regionGroupsList) do
local groupData=regionGroups[group]
[/code]
