    resorting an array( matrix)

    I'm trying to write a code to take a matrix as input and reorganize its rows by sum from lowest to highest.
    so if the matrix is
    2 2 2 (sum 6)
    1 1 3 (sum 5)
    2 5 6 (sum 13)
    then I want it to reorder as
    1 1 3 (sum 5)
    2 2 2 (sum 6)
    2 5 6 (sum 13)
    So far what I did is sum each row and insert it in a one dimension array and sort it from lowest to highest ,but I'm having trouble reordering the original matrix. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    If you are not allowed to use qsort you need to do almost everything on your own.
    So you might need a function that return the sum of a single row and after this you threat the matrix like a normal array; so you need to write your favourite sorting algorithm but nstead of swapping and comparing the single elements you're going to do it with the rows and the sums of them.
