There are many sort algorithms in existance. The simplest but slowest is you have all your values in an array and you know the count of the array.
Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6 Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.  
  2.  
  3. swap = true
  4. while swap is true
  5.    swap = false
  6.    for index = 0 to cnt-1 step 1
  7.        if ary[index] > ary[index+1] then
  8.              tmp = ary[index]
  9.             ary[index]=ary[index+1]
  10.             ary[index+1] = ary[index]
  11.             swap = true
  12.        endif
  13.     endfor
  14. endwhile

This one is very inefficient but will do the job. In essence the outer loop will loop forever until no swaps occur in the inner loop. This is know as a bubble sort as the numbers bubble along into their correct positions.

I strongly recommend you read up on sorting. Knuth has a great book on the subject containg pseudo code. His books are well worth having a prominent place in your bookcase.


Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6 Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. [45][ 3][21][11][2]
  2.   3   45  21  11  2
  3.   3   21  45  11  2
  4.   3   21  11  45  2
  5.   3   21  11  45  2
  6.           next outer loop without the little steps
  7.   3   11  21  2   45  
  8.   3   11   2   21  45
  9.   3    2   11  21  45
  10.   2    3   11  21   45
