URGENT HELP on doubly linked lists! Sort function not working

How do you sort a doubly linked list? This is the code i'v written. But its not working! I have to submit this tomorrow. Tried everything! :disappoin everything except the sort function works.please help

Code:

#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<process.h>

struct node
{
 int data;
 node *prev;
 node *next;
 };

 class dlist
 {
  node *first, *last;
  public:
  dlist()
  {
   first=last=NULL;
   }
  void append(int);
  void insertfront(int);
  void insertafter(int,int);
  void delfront();
  void dellast();
  void nodesearch(int);
  void display();
  void sort();
  };

  void dlist::append(int d)
  {
   node *t;
   t=new node;
   t->data=d;
   if(first==NULL)
   {
    first=last=t;
    first->prev=NULL;
    first->next=NULL;
    return;
    }
    last->next=t;
    t->prev=last;
    t->next=NULL;
    last=t;
   }

   void dlist::insertfront(int d)
   {
    node * t;
    t= new node;
    t->data=d;
    if(first==NULL)
    {
     cout<<"\n list empty";
     return;
     }
    first->prev=t;
    t->next=first;
    t->prev=NULL;
    first=t;
    }
void dlist::sort()
{
node *q,*p;
p=new node;
if(first==NULL)
   {
    cout<<"\n list empty..";
    return;
}
if(first->next==NULL)
{
cout<<"Cannot sort with 1 node\n";
return;
}
else
{
q=first;
while(q->next!=NULL)
{
q=q->next;
if(q->data>p->data)
{
q->next=p->next;
p->prev=q->prev;
p->next=q;
q->prev=p;
}
q=q->next;
}
}
}

  void dlist::insertafter(int c,int d)
  {

    return;
    }

"Not working" isn't a very clear description. How exactly isn't it working? What do you observe? What do you expect? Where does the program start going wrong? What input did you give? Were there any compiler warnings?

Managing all the pointers in a double linked list can be tricky. Have you figured out on paper exactly what should happen?
