How can i do this programm??

Make a project called proj9_sortAddress, and add a new C++ source file called sortAddress.cpp. Including any source code from your earlier projects you feel to be useful, write a program which:

Loads in your address book from file into an array of people.
Performs a bubble sort, to sort this array into alphabetical order
Saves your sorted address book into a new text file.

#include<iostream.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<fstream.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

You can do a search of the board or the net to look for a description and code to implement a bubble search, if you don't know what that is. You need to use methods in the string.h header file to compare C style strings that you use in your program. If you aren't sure how to use strcmp() or similar functions, please search the board or read your compilers help file. You already appear to be familiar with file handling. Then about the only other thing you need to do is determine whether you are going to sort alphabetically by the second_name member or the first_name member.

Another solution is a sorted STL container such as a set.
