Sorting Strings Example

[MysticVegeta]

Hi, Sorry if this has been posted before, i looked thoroughly through the results but didnt find an example of code of sorting strings. Please someone bother to put an example, the DWITE is getting closer, so i need to practise it too! Or someone give ideas/pseudocodes to support!, Thanks a lot! 8)

It works the same as for numbers, just change the value to a string. If you don't know how to sort numbers look up bubble sort, or any other sort method either here or on google.

nono i know how to sort the numbers. I just wanted to see an example of how its done perfectly. If i am correct, is this how you do it?
1) Add the integer values of word for example (ABC = 65+66+67)
2) Do for all words
3) sort the numbers
4) put the corresponding words for the sorted numbers?

is this the way do it?

No! That won't get you anywhere! Well, anywhere you want.

Think:
ab = 65 + 66 = 131
ba = 66 + 65 = 131

Which comes first, alphabetically?

In Turing, "Hello" < "World" returns true, so you can use the exact same procedure you used to sort numbers, just change the variable type. This is what [Gandalf] was saying.

What the? they had it built in? oh my god! and here i was doing all kind of sorts that zylum or rizzix (not sure) posted in the tutorials. I realize that was silly, and here i was thinking turing was useless, lol (still is)
