Excel VBA - Sort a table with BubbleSort
 

Hello,

I need to sort a table with BubbleSort.

I know how the algorithm works:

For i = left To right - 1
If student_temp(i) student_temp(i + 1) Then
Call swap(i, i + 1)
End If


Private Sub swap
Dim hold As String

hold = student_temp(j)
student_temp(j) = student_temp(k)
student_temp(k) = hold


but I have no idea how this works on an Excel sheet. How do I access
the rows? Do I need an array?

I will appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance

Why do you need the bubble sort, why not use Excel's built-in sort?

Hi

One way is to put the range data into an array, perform the sort, then put the data back again. Something like.

Sub aaa()
Dim arr As Variant
arr = Range("a1:f1").Value

For i = LBound(arr, 2) To UBound(arr, 2) - 1
For j = i + 1 To UBound(arr, 2)
If arr(1, i) arr(1, j) Then
holder = arr(1, i)
arr(1, i) = arr(1, j)
arr(1, j) = holder
End If
Next j
Next i

Range("a1:f1").Value = arr

End Sub
