I believe is a matter of timing when you update your ListScores, save data to CloudDB and get it back
sorry, i dont understand. Do u mind to explain detail
i got the descending order(but i actually need ascending for the only 5 highest score based on the requirement): haha
if use the top5 block, also got the same result. Is there any ideas to limit it to show 5 highest score only
With your blocks sequence you get top 5 and then add 0 to list so you have 6 items. Move procedure above set ListView elements

Hi, thanks for helping me solve all the problems I encountered. Finally, I've got the results for the top 5 highest scores.
do u think my lecturer wants me to sort the score from highest to lowest /or/ lowest to highest score? This is the requirement mention by him:
-The mobile app shall let the users enter their name if their score is high and going to overwrite one of the 5 highest scores.
-The mobile app shall be able to display the top 5 highest scores in an ascending order
But I feel it is kind of weird if I sort the lowest to highest score order hahha, it doesn't make sense to me
Thanks for helping me, finally i got the result I want 
Do you see a 5 in any of the logic in those blocks?
(oops , I see it now.)
All it does is sort .
But it does not remove any list items, and it does not try to copy only 5 items to a new list.
P.S. I gave you a separate value procedure that takes the first 5 items of a list earlier.
It is simpler to separate those two processes
- sorting
- trimming
to separate processes.
It's like trying to run while putting on your shoes. You will fall on your face.
For my original procedure(the one i used insertion sort), is it possible to edit it to meet the 5 highest score only to show up
can i ask is this consider Insertion Sort Algorithm /or/ selection /or/ bubble
bubble sort

Yes.
After calling the procedure to sort the global high score list in place,
add extra blocks to
set global high scores list to call top5(global high scores list)

The order is important.
- Get the old list
- add the new score
- sort the expanded list
- clip the sorted list to length
- store the clipped sorted list back in CloudDB
