Hey guys. I'm trying to help a friend with a C program but have very little knowledge of it. I figured this would be a great place to come. I have started the program, but can't figure out how to store things into the array then sort it?

The program has to read in player records from the keyboard, which I believe I have done correctly. Then it must save the info into an array, then sort it in ascending order by userid and print it. I believe I am halfway-right about this. Could someone with more experience please help him/me out?

The player records read in as follows

600 Smith John 34 53 22
200 Jones Jim 22 44 56
300 Chappelle Dave 22 48 12



Here is the code I have

struct Player

{

int numOfRecords; //Stores the total number of records
char userid[10];
char last[10];
char first[10];
int ties;
int losses;
int wins;


printf ("Enter the number of records: \n");
scanf("%d", &numOfRecords);// stores total number of records

int x;
for (x = 0; x < numOfRecords; x++)

{

printf("Enter the record data:\n");

scanf("%s%s%s%d%d%d", userid, last, first, &wins, &losses, &ties);

}


}

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

I will have too much trouble explaining this over text. So here you go my friend.

I would tend towards using a function to be honest, would be a lot easier to sort your User IDs in one and then return to print them in order...
