x.Hm need help on bubble sorting the list on \"group cost or group name\" either

Question

x.Hm need help on bubble sorting the list on "group cost or group name" either one is fine. Please no "break" statement. The function I need help is the last function it works for sorting only "group num" and I don't understand why

Explanation / Answer

The only line you should need to change is the following:                        if(ascend->groupcost > qsort->groupcost) You may have tried the following unsuccessful attempt:                        if(ascend->groupname > qsort->groupname) That doesn't work because it compares the addresses of the firstcharacters of the names. Instead, the names themselves should be compared, and that's wherefunction strcmp comes in                        if(strcmp(ascend->groupname, qsort->groupname) >0)
