| Mar 19, 2018 at 21:28 | comment | added | congusbongus | @RangerBob some classes need to be sorted differently. Most of the time you can sort them as-is, but for hands like the full house, you need to make sure the 3-of-a-kind is ahead of the pair. Finally sort the rest of the cards normally. You don't need to worry about the kicker, it's just a fancy way of saying "the highest of the leftover cards". | |

| Mar 19, 2018 at 10:45 | comment | added | ratchet freak | @RangerBob you first decide that it is a single pair so that pair should be at the start, then the rest of the cards are sorted high to low. When comparing hands of the different classes you first compare the class and then you compare the hands themselves, that way a 4-of-a-kind with 2s beats a Ace high | |
| Mar 19, 2018 at 8:50 | comment | added | RangerBob | Thank you for your reply but that was not exactly my question. It seems that you just repeated what they said in the example I gave above. I already determined the class of my hands. What I want to do is an algorithm to rank in the way I mentioned the cards for a specific hand: I a hand is 39772, how to sort it such as I got : 77932? | |
