You are trying to sort them based on age. Look up Bubble Sort, it has been mentioned numerous times through the forums.

Since you only need to know the oldest and the youngest, you can avoid arrays and sorting by keeping a "running" min and max.  Hint:  Initialize min to a high number and max to a low number.  Update as you get the ages.
