LUA: Sort table

[andu]

Tried to sort it but always i have result = headache
Give me a code what will sort this table by highest chance to lowest, please.

local table = {
	[1] = {item = {8982, 1}, chance = 1},
	[2] = {item = {8985, 1}, chance = 80},
	[3] = {item = {9006, 1}, chance = 45},
	[4] = {item = {9019, 1}, chance = 1},
	[5] = {item = {9662, 1}, chance = 300}

Thanks in advance

    [4] = {item = {9019, 1}, chance = 1},
    [5] = {item = {9662, 1}, chance = 300}
}


table.sort(t, function(x, y) return x.chance > y.chance end)


for i, d in ipairs(t) do
    print('['..i..'] = {item = {'.. d.item[1]..', '..d.item[2]..'}, chance = ' .. d.chance .. '},')
end

table.sort() also changes indexes, just reminding.
