Referencing a 2D array in order to sort strings

[vagnermaxi]

I am utterly confused on how to set up a function that references a 2D array and compares he strings of each.

How do I fix this.

Here is my code for sorting function:

char BubbleSort (char Names [], int NumElements)
	{
	int		i;
	bool	Sorted;
	char	Temp;

	do	{
		Sorted	= true;
		NumElements--;
		i++;

		strcmp (Names[i], Names[i + 1]);

			if (Names [i] > Names [i + 1])
					{
					Sorted				= false;

					strcpy(Names[i], Names[i + 1]);
					}
				else;
		} while (!Sorted);
	return (Names[i], NumElements);
	}

And here is the code to call up the function in the program:

char BubbleSort(char Names [], int NumElements);

void main()
	{
	const		int			MaxNames(20);
	const		int			MaxLetters(15);
			char		Names	[MaxNames + 1] [MaxLetters + 1];
			int			NumRows;
			int			Row;
			int			Col;
			int			NumCols = MaxLetters;
			int			x;
			int			y;

			cout << "How many names shall you enter?" << endl;
			NumRows = ReadInteger ();

			cout << "Enter " << NumRows << " names: " << endl;
			
			for (Row = 0; Row < NumRows; Row++)
				{
				cin.getline		(Names [Row], MaxLetters + 1, '\n');
				}

			cout << "You entered " << endl;
			for (Row = 0; Row < NumRows; Row++)
				{
					cout << Names[Row];
					cout << endl;		
				}

			for (x = 0; x < NumRows; x++)
				{
				BubbleSort (Names [] [NumCols], NumRows);
				}
	

	}

And my header file for sorting:

#ifndef SORTING_H
#define SORTING_H

char BubbleSort (char [], int);

#endif

For starters main() must always be declared as int main {} never as type void or it will never be executed.

Also, you have duplicates declarations of char BubbleSort (char Names [], int NumElements). You do not need a header file.

Here with some corrections:

Code:

char BubbleSort(char Names [], int NumElements);
int main()
	{
	const		int			MaxNames(20);
	const		int			MaxLetters(15);
			char		Names	[MaxNames + 1] [MaxLetters + 1];
			int			NumRows;
			int			Row;
			int			Col;
			int			NumCols = MaxLetters;
			int			x;
			int			y;

			cout << "How many names shall you enter?" << endl;
			NumRows = ReadInteger ();

			cout << "Enter " << NumRows << " names: " << endl;
			
			for (Row = 0; Row < NumRows; Row++)
				{
				cin.getline		(Names [Row], MaxLetters + 1, '\n');
				}

			cout << "You entered " << endl;
			for (Row = 0; Row < NumRows; Row++)
				{
					cout << Names[Row];
					cout << endl;		
				}

			for (x = 0; x < NumRows; x++)
				{
				BubbleSort (Names [] [NumCols], NumRows);
				}
	

	}
 NumElements)
	{
	int		i;
	bool	Sorted;
	char	Temp;

	do	{
		Sorted	= true;
		NumElements--;
		i++;

		strcmp (Names[i], Names[i + 1]);

			if (Names [i] > Names [i + 1])
					{
					Sorted				= false;

					strcpy(Names[i], Names[i + 1]);
					}
				else;
		} while (!Sorted);
	return (Names[i], NumElements);
	}

Also, you cannot return an array nor can you loop a return statement: return (Names[i], NumElements);. You would have to store the result and return a single variable.
