This could be a repeat of a post i did that didnt show up, i'm new to google groups.
I have a need to have a scoreboard type functionality, where people have points added as they do specific things, but its possible for the points to show a tie.
I know that redis uses a lexicographic sorting order when there is a tie, but that would not work for me.
What i need is to be able to discriminate based on a different value, like the date that the entry was updated, so the first one to reach a score gets the goodies.
I also realize that there could be more cases where ZRANGE could benefit by having a complementary custom field for discrimination.
Seems like a nice to have to me.
If someone could suggest a way i could make it work with Redis only, maybe by using 2 entries, or a composite key, i would appreciate.
Michel.
