Firebase Android Leaderboard system

I have the code:

listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
    list = new ArrayList<String>();
    arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(getApplicationContext(),  android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,  list);

    leaderBoard();
}
FirebaseAuth auth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();

public void leaderBoard(){
    database.getReference().child("db/auth/user/").addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
        public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
            if(dataSnapshot.exists()){
                list = new ArrayList<String>();
                for (DataSnapshot snapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
                    System.out.println("The score is: " + snapshot.child("score").getValue());
                    String s = snapshot.child("name").getValue() + "         " + snapshot.child("score").getValue();
                    list.add(s);

                    arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(getApplicationContext(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, list);
                    listView.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
                }
            }
        }


        @Override
        public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
            // Getting Post failed, log a message
            Log.w(TAG, "loadPost:onCancelled", databaseError.toException());

        }


    });

My goal is to show a list with the users' names and score, so far so good, as shown in the photo.

But now I need the list to show users and points in increasing order based on the score. Can someone help me?

To order the children by the value of their score property, you can do:

database.getReference().child("db/auth/user/").orderByChild("score").addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
  ...

As far as I can see, the rest of your code can remain the same.

Also see the Firebase documentation on ordering and filtering data.
