I've created a highscore, but I can't figure out how to save the players name in the scores.

I'm working on a game and I've managed to create a highscore in which I put the scores in an array, transform the array into a String and, using the saveStrings, I save the String into a file. After I load the Strings and display the Scores, modifying them as a new best score enters the array. But I want to create a Highscore like an arcade game. The player would provide 3 letters and I would save them on a separate file, but I can't figure out how to make them follow the same orders as the Scores.

First

find a inputBox here

Second

work around: you can use sort() on an array.

In order to not to loose the names:

for each entry add the name to the score: score + "#" + name

then sort it

then use split to split score and name again for displaying

One option is saving all the information in Strings separated by a separation character, as @Chrisir describes.

Another option is using Table. Add columns, then create new rows with each column filled out, as in the example sketch:
