This might help:

When you are comparing two strings(char arrays), use an strcmp() as follows:

if (strcmp(str1, str2) > 0) {
/* Then str2 comes first alphabetically */
} else {
/* str1 comes first alphabetically */
}

eg:

printf("%d", strcmp("Hello", "Zye")); /* Prints -1 */
printf("%d", strcmp("Hello", "Bye")); /* Prints 1  */

You can use this logic + any sorting algorithm.
