Can you share your code ?

Answer 5

Yes, of course you can.

If you don't have tons of players, read the records into memory (a list, an array, etc.)

Sort it (bubble sort, insertion sort, qsort) and then rewrite the file with the sorted list.

Other methods: use sqlite, use a second file as index and work with it instead of reading the whole data into memory, etc. etc.

google "sort file c" for other options...

Answer 6

I now what you mean,
and i do it, I search in a google alot about sort a file, but all of them was befor creating a file!
but you know , in a game i crat a file and save all information in file, after that when a player wants to saw the scores, the scores should sorted and after show to the player.
