>good old fashoned c code
Maybe old fashioned, but certainly not good.

>void main(void)
Don't make me switch to ANSI nazi mode. main returns int, it always has.

>char char1,char2,char3,cahr4;
Check your spelling, or write enough C code so that you're physically unable to misspell char.

>scanf("%c%c%c%c",char1,char2,char3,char4);
Eew. I say again, eew. First and foremost you need to use the ampersand in all of those charN's because scanf expects a pointer. Second, you need to check the return value of scanf because users can't follow directions (especially since you didn't give any in this program).

>printf("%c%c%c%c",char4,char3,char2,char1);
Okay, this is assuming that the characters are entered in ascending sorted order to begin with. I don't recall the OP mentioning that particular requirement. In fact, I can remember a specific example that suggests that the digits will be in random order, so your code is broken even if you fix it.

>"prelude", your dorkness far exceeds mine, and i mean that as a compliment
I'll take it as a compliment.

>i can't understand any of that code
That was the point really. We're glad to help with your C++ problems, provided you can prove that you've given it an honest attempt. If you have an idea of how to go about it, run it by us and we'll offer suggestions. But a request for code that solves your problem doesn't go over well, and you'll either get stoney silence, flames, or extreme sarcasm for your trouble.

Hint:
Read the number as a char array. That gets it into a form that will make it easy to sort. And if you don't know how to use arrays (as your earlier post demonstrates), I suggest you read up on them (there's a tutorial on this site).

**EDIT**
Sorry Vicious, should've read the rest of the thread more carefully.
