Hey all
I'm busy writing a program - as stated in an earlier post of mine - to keep a database of songs and then allow them to be listed, sorted alphabetically by track artist etc...

here are the variables:

Code:

songDis[100][4]   //nested array, 100 songs, 4 properties for each
temp[] //array to temporarily store the songDis array, while swapping around
songNum //the amount of songs
sortBy //can be 0, 1, 2 or 3 to signify whether to sort by track artist etc

Here's the part to alphabetize:

Code:

for (int a = 1; a < songNum; a++)//alphabetizing songs {
	        for (int b = a + 1; b < songNum + 1; b++) {
		      if (song[a][sortBy].compareTo(song[b][sortBy]) > 0) {
			temp = songDis[a];
			songDis[a] = songDis[b];
			songDis[b] = temp;
		       }
	          }//for b
         }//for a

It seems to work. But it sometimes just throws up completely random songs ordering...
