    } 
    else{
      return 1;
    }
  } 
  return -1; 
}

Try to keep one question in one thread, and not discussing the SAME problem in two different threads.

Code:

  int ascend;
  for(ascend = 1; ascend < sizearr;){
    if (aarry[ascend] < aarry[ascend + 1]){

You start at 1 instead of 0, and you overrun the end of the array with aarry[ascend+1]. Oops. I think you meant

Code:

for(ascend = 0; ascend < sizearr-1; ) {

BTW, pronouncable variable names wouldn't hurt. "aarry" is just painful . . .
