Method Help

[pringle]

I have a file listing:

A customer name
An account number
A balance

each on different lines. I need to sort the file into ascending account number order.
Do I use a bubble sort for this?

I recommend quicksort algorithm when you do it by that example..... or not so huge files...

Depends on how will you optimize it....

Its just for me, and kind regards,

Sukatoa, how about the bubble sort algorithm. Since he used the account number to sort, may be it's easy.

Actually why I ask this is that I'm not familiar with the quicksort algorithm at least once. What you think of it.

There are several sort Methods.. I'm not sure which one works best though as I haven't used them all.

For a good example of the Bubble sort, check this out:

If you require more help then please post an example of the file.

Yes it's true. In my experience I used bubble sort in great way, so I know how to use it. Even though I can't do all the things in best way only using bubble sort algorithm. So better to deal with users comments on different sorting algorithms.
