Lets say I want to compare 4 variables. Then only return the 2 largest of them. It doesn't matter which one of these two that are the largest.

Example:

var1 = 2
var2 = 5
var3 = 3
var4 = 9

func_compare()
{
    Somehow find out that var2 and var4 are the two largest ones.
    
    Since they were the two largest ones, enable stuff:
    bool_var2 = true;
    bool_var4 = true;
}

then later: 
if(bool_var2)
     yay, var2 was one of the two largest ones of the four.

How?

new li_Test[ 4 ] = { 2, 5, 3, 9 };
SortIntegers ( li_Test, sizeof li_Test, Sort_Descending );

li_Test will become : { 9, 5, 3, 2 }

Then, you have just to retrieve the 2 first values ( li_Test[ 0 ] and li_Test[ 1 ] ) to get the 2 largest number.

Yeah, I tested with this:

 #include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>

#define PLUGIN "New Plug-In"
#define VERSION "1.0"
#define AUTHOR "Jon"

new var1
new var2
new var3
new var4

public plugin_init() 
{
    register_plugin(PLUGIN, VERSION, AUTHOR)
    
    register_clcmd("say /var1", "plusvar1")
    register_clcmd("say /var2", "plusvar2")
    register_clcmd("say /var3", "plusvar3")
    register_clcmd("say /var4", "plusvar4")
    
    register_clcmd("say /showvars", "showvars")
    
}

public plusvar1(id)
{
    var1++
}

public plusvar2(id)
{
    var2++
}

public plusvar3(id)
{
    var3++
}

public plusvar4(id)
{
    var4++
}

public showvars(id)
{
    new store[4];
    
    store[0] = var1
    store[1] = var2
    store[2] = var3
    store[3] = var4
    
    SortIntegers(store, 4, Sort_Descending)
    
    client_print(id, print_chat, "%d is the largest, %d is the second largest", store[0], store[1])
}

But the important thing is, I need to know the names of the vars that became the two largest. The numbers are only for comparing them.

I think amxx should provide a solution for your situation which I think is useful for some cases.
Just offer another array that store the index of the original array which has been sorted.
In this example the index array should be {3, 1, 2, 0}

There must be a better way, terrible:

public showvars(id)
{
    new store[4];
    
    store[0] = var1
    store[1] = var2 
    store[2] = var3 
    store[3] = var4
    
    SortIntegers(store, 4, Sort_Descending)
    
    if(store[0] == var1)
    {
        largest = "variable1"
    }
    else if(store[0] == var2)
    {
        largest = "variable2"
    }
    else if(store[0] == var3)
    {
        largest = "variable3"
    }
    else if(store[0] == var4)
    {
        largest = "variable4"
    }

    client_print(id, print_chat, "%s is the largest", largest)
    
    if(store[1] == var1)
    {
        second_largest = "variable 1"
    }
    else if(store[1] == var2)
    {
        second_largest = "variable 2"
    }
    else if(store[1] == var3)
    {
        second_largest = "variable 3"
    }
    else if(store[1] == var4)
    {
        second_largest = "variable 4"
    }
    
    client_print(id, print_chat, "%s is the second largest", second_largest)
}

i think this is what you are wanting

PHP Code:

     new store[8];
    store[0] = 10;
    store[1] = 100;
    store[2] = 10240;
    store[3] = 7611;
    store[4] = -404;
    store[5] = 2523;
    store[6] = 66;
    store[7] = -23;
    
    new varid[9], varval[9], temp, a, b, c;
    arrayset(varval, -10000, 7);
    for (a = 0; a < 8; a++)
    {
        temp = store[a];
        b = 8; c = 0;
        while (b-- > 0 && !c)
            if (temp > varval[b])
            {
                varval[b + 1] = varval[b];    varid[b + 1] = varid[b];
                varval[b] = temp;            varid[b] = a;
            }
            else
                c = 1;
        
    }
    
    for (a = 0; a < 8; a++)
        server_print("%d %d", varid[a], varval[a]);

Could be, but I didn't understand much of that code.
