Any ideas on how would I be able to traverse this BTree in asceding order? right now I am sorting the data and giving it to my retreival() function to look for the keys. But naturally it visits and prints the data in ascending order because I give it sorted data in the first place. But i dont think thats correct. I sort of need ideas of how to do inorder traversal on this one. As always, any suggestions would be quite appreciated :)

You can do prefix/infix/postfix tree traversal really easily using recursion.

Basically it goes along the lines of passing the root node to the function. The function itself goes something like this (for infix):
IF left child exists THEN PASS left child to the function
PRINT value of current node
IF right child exists THEN PASS right child to the function

All the nodes will be passed to the function, and because of the way the recursion works, it will print out the node values in the order you want (move PRINT first for prefix, PRINT to middle for infix, PRINT to end for postfix).

This should work as long as your tree structure is made correctly.
