But no, it doesn't, I still generate a randomly ordered wiki table. So, what did I missed?
Two things: 1. table.sort() only sorts the sequence part of the table. So only the elements 1-9 in your table, not 0 or A-E. 2. pairs() doesn't process the elements in any particular order; you can see this by printing out the keys as you iterate through using pairs(). You'd need to use ipairs instead (which again only does the sequence part of the table).
