Got a question for you programmers out there

Alright heres the current dilema. Right now I have an external txt file filled with Employee data(First name, last name, Id, phone number). What I need to do it put this data (As objects) in order of ID on a linked list.

I know how to put it on a linked list...but I can't see to put it on in order. Can anyone help me?

Thanks,

Vaedyn

When placing each id#, use a loop to place them in order. Sine I dont know what language youre in, Ill try to keep this somewhat general:

You didnt say what order you wanted, so I made it biggest to smallest

DO{

variables:
- CurrentID - The ID youre looking at: Integer?
- CompareID - The ID# youll be comparing

FOR (this counter will count for each item in the list){
If (CurrentId < CompareID) {
Go To next iteration of For Loop
Set Compare ID to the newest ID!
}
Else if (CurrentID > CompareID){
Move everyone from this point of the list down one spot. Current ID, and all its user info gets this newly cleared spot
}
}THIS IS THE END OF THE FOR LOOP

Put anything you want done between checking each ID here

}WHILE theres still text being read from the file.

is this totally crap? I think it would work
