I am having problems doing an alphabetical sort on names in an array of structures (List) each of which contains a name and a number e.g.: struct record{ char studName[50]; int studMark; }; struct record list[7]; (The data is read into the above structure from a .txt file in this format: John 87 Mary 20 Rob 78 etc.etc. Regards

See posting 7407. And it works here too!.... borelli35

Use this algorithm: void bubbleSort(int item[], int size) { int swaps, temp, right, left; do { swaps = 0; left = 0; right = 1; while(right<size) { if(item[right] < item[left] { temp = item[left]; item[left] = item[right]; item[right] = temp; swaps++; } left++; right++; } } while(swaps > 0); } not sure if you would like to implement as a function or in main function. replace item with your array: studName
