    Greetings everyone,
    I am writing a program that allows the user to enter the first name, last name, and grade of each student. The program then sorts all the names alphabetically by last name, and display a list of all the students names and grades in alphabetical order.
    I don't understand how can I associate to print out the first name and the points o that same array.
    I managed to make the output sort them by last name and output them, too. But the names remain unswapped.
    So when I input:
    Angelina Zellweger 11
    Suzy Applegate 55
    X Y 5

    it should give:
    Suzy Applegate 55
    X Y 5
    Angelina Zellwegerr 11

    So far I managed to sort by last name and print them out. I just don't know how to associate the points and print them accordingly;
    Code:
        int j;
          char tmp[20], tmp2[20];
          int posMin, tmp3;
          for (j=0; j<cnum-1; j++){
        posMin = j;
    
        for (i = j+1; i < cnum; i++)
          if (strcmp(cognome[i], cognome[posMin]) < 0)
    	posMin = i;
    
        strcpy(tmp,cognome[j]);
        strcpy(cognome[j],cognome[posMin]);
        strcpy(cognome[posMin],tmp);
    
        strcpy(tmp2,nome[j]);
        strcpy(nome[j],nome[posMin]);
        strcpy(nome[posMin],tmp2);
          [b]
    for (i = j+1; i<cnum; i++)
      {
        if(punteggio[i]>punteggio[posMin])
        {
        tmp3=punteggio[j];
        punteggio[j]=punteggio[posMin];
        punteggio[posMin]=tmp3;
          }
      }[/b]
          }	
    
    The part in bold is wrong.
    I am new to C so any help would be appreciated. Thank you
