Sorting a singly linked is simple. Find the method below for the same.
/* a function to sort a list */
struct node *sortlist(struct node *p)
{
struct node *temp1,*temp2,*min,*prev,*q;
q = NULL;
while(p != NULL)
{
prev = NULL;
min = temp1 = p;
temp2 = p -> link;
while ( temp2 != NULL )
{
if(min -> data > temp2 -> data)
{
min = temp2;
prev = temp1;
}
temp1 = temp2;
temp2 = temp2-> link;
}
if(prev == NULL)
p = min -> link;
else
prev -> link = min -> link;
min -> link = NULL;
if( q == NULL)
q = min; /* moves the node with lowest data value in the list
pointed to by p to the list
pointed to by q as a first node*/
else
{
temp1 = q;
/* traverses the list pointed to by q to get pointer to its
last node */
while( temp1 -> link != NULL)
temp1 = temp1 -> link;
temp1 -> link = min; /* moves the node with lowest data value
in the list pointed to
by p to the list pointed to by q at the end of list pointed by
q*/
}
}
