    Sorting a Linked List

    Ok I am trying to sort a linked list and I have declared
    Code:
    private:
          struct SongNode
          {
                 Song s;                  //value in this node
                 SongNode *next;          //cursor points to where the node is 
                                          //positioned
          
                             
          };
          
          SongNode *head;                 //points to the begining
          static const int MAX_MEMORY = 256;       //most memory allowed
    and used
    Code:
    void BobCatPod::sort( )
    {
         SongNode *i;
         SongNode *i_n;
         SongNode *j;
         SongNode *temp;
         
         if (head == NULL)
         {
               return;
         }
         j = head;
         while (j -> next != NULL)
         {
               j = j-> next;
         }
               while (j!= head)
               {
                     i = i_n =head;
                     while (i_n != j)
                     {
                           if (i_n-> next-> s < i_n-> s  )
                           {
                                      temp=i_n-> next;
                                      i_n-> next = temp-> next;
                                      temp-> next =i_n;
                                      if (i_n-> next = temp);
                                      else
                                      {
                                      next = temp;
                                      }
                           }
                                      i = i_n;
                                      i_n= i_n->next;
               }
                                      j=i;
         }
     
    }
    now in this line
    Code:
    else
                                      {
                                      next = temp;
                                      }
    I get an error that says next is undeclared. Why???

    Does BobCatPod have a member called next?
    I might be wrong.

    Thank you, anon. You sure know how to recognize different types of trees from quite a long way away.
