Yeah start at the highest denominator and work down

[Bulgarian 10]

a bubble sort on the data set should do it ?

my program is supposed to use input numbers which are then used in a mathematical formula and give me a result, i need to do this several times, so i get several sets of results, and then i need to display these results in descending order...

[Fognuts 10]

average the numbers out then from 10 to 0 Doh ?

Store the results in an array, bubble sort it, display it - done.

In C++ use the stl library list and it's sort algorithm

I would have been suprised if there wasn't a sort function in C++, it's a basic requirement for most languages.

I would expect you've been taught IO before being asked to sort lists / arrays, but:

Just for some light reading here's a list of sorting algorithms

and animated demonstrations
