zylum has posted a number of sorting examples for Turing. Though if you're just trying to figure out the logic behind the algorythm, then language syntax should be irrelavent.

In bubble sort you essensially take elements one by one and compare them to all others, swaping a larger number to the end of the list, effectivly "bubbling" it up.

thats a good tutorial thanks for pointing it out. and thanks to zylum for making it. the only problem i'm having now is i'm trying to get the numbers to sort from a file so i'm sorting it all correctly, but i wanna display it in a list box. i don't know how to display the sorted numbers in the list box. i'm trying somethin like this:

code:

lstSort.AddItem nums(i)

this however doesn't sort everythin. how would i display it in the list box?

I would guess that you'd need to sort your nums() array before adding elements to the list box.
