Working on my C homework and hit a brick wall...

What's the best way to sort elements of an array?

the code I have so is:


/*
Assignment 6
Lopez, Enrique 1031
4/21/2003

Edit fig. 7.24 so that:
a five card poker hand is drawn
a) Determin if the hand contains a pair
b) Determin if the hand contains two pairs
c) Determin if the hand contains three of a kind (e.g., three jacks)
d) Determin if the hand contains four of a kind (e.g., four aces)
e) Determin if the hand contains a flush (i.e., all five cards of the same suit)
f) Determin if the hand contains a straight (i.e., five cards of consecutive face values)
*/

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <string.h>

void shuffle( int [][ 13 ] );
void deal( const int [] [ 13 ], const char *[], const char *[] );


int main()
{
const char *suit[ 4 ] =
{ "Hearts", "Diamonds", "Clubs", "Spades" };

const char *face[ 13 ] =
{ "Ace", "Deuce", "Three", "Four",
"Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight",
"Nine", "Ten", "Jack", "Queen", "King" };
int deck[ 4 ] [ 13 ] = { 0 };

srand( time( 0 ) );

shuffle( deck );
deal( deck, face, suit );

return 0;
}

void shuffle( int wDeck[][ 13 ] )
{
int row, column, card;

for ( card = 1; card <= 52; card++ ) {
do
{
row = rand() % 4;
column = rand() % 13;
} while(wDeck[ row ][ column ] != 0);

wDeck[ row][ column ] = card;
}
}

void deal( const int wDeck[][ 13 ], const char *wFace[],
const char *wSuit[] )
{
int card, row, column;

for ( card = 1; card <= 5; card++ )

for ( row = 0; row <= 3; row++ )

for ( column = 0; column <= 12; column++ )

if (wDeck[ row ][ column ] == card )
printf( "%5s of %-8s%c",
wFace[ column ], wSuit[ row ],
card % 1 == 0 ? '\n' : '\t' );
void pair();
}

void pair()
{

}


my instructor told me the best way to do it is to sort the array then cmpare the elements, what would be the best way to do this?
