    sorting a linked list

    Not sure how to approach this one, I have a double linked list with one field in it- a char * that contains the file name (and of course a pointer to the previous and next segments) Now I want to sort alphabetically as I am adding to this linked list, or once when it is all done. Any suggestions or code anyone can contribute??
    Much appreciated

    insertion sort to sort an unsorted list
    binary search to add an element to a sorted list
    they should be posted somewhere on these forums but I think you'll find easier by searching on google

    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.
