Doing this with files during runtime has many drawbacks. You have to either use a file system (like y_ini) which is generally slower for this application or re-write the whole file if the order changes (which can be very often if you have many rich players online). The array lets u just switch two entries (or more if you need to reorder) and it's a LOT faster.

I kinda do get the idea of your point, but can you give a little explenation in code?
