Sorting a simple 1d array?

[sublim21]

Hey guys, im still working on my program. However, im running into a problem. I have a simple 1d array that starts at array[1] to array[7] and im trying to sort the array, by increasing values.
This is the code i have written, however its not working.
std::sort(& array[1],& array[8]);
when i cout the values of array[1] through array[7] they're clearly have not been sorted.
If you guys could help explain as to why this happens, im all ears.
Thanks,
Peter.

What does your sorting function look like?? Or is it a built-in function of one of the libraries?

Also, you say you are sorting from index 1 to 7, what about the 0 index? And in your function call you send an index of 8 as one of your parameters. Something might be wrong there... maybe.

Is it changing the values at all? If so, what sort is using to compare two elements is wrong. You might have to overload <.

What are you sorting? The syntax is correct...

#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  int array[] = {1, 3, 5, 2, 4, 1, 3, 7, 10, 9};
  std::sort(&array[1], &array[8]);

  for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
  {
    cout << array[i] << endl;
  }
}

Output:
1
1
2
3
3
4
5
7
10
9

Hey guys, thanks. I kept messing around, and sorting through some stuff, and found some code thats called bubblesorting. I mimicked the simple code, and it did what i needed it to do. I appreciate the help guys.
On a side note - Todays final exam railed me in the butt.
The Code i used is at the bottom.
Oh, if you ever need to find out if 8 points make a cube, feel free to use my code.
It can be found here
void swap(float& x, float& y)
{
float temp = x; // Use temp to store x temporarily
x = y;
y = temp;
}

//************************************************************ *************

// The bubble sort

void bubbleSort(float a[], int n) // n is size of array to sort
{
for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) // Make n-1 passes
{
for (int j = 0; j < n-i; j++) // Lowest index of pair = n-i-1
{
if(a[j] > a[j+1]) // a[j] should be less than a[j+1]
{
swap(a[j], a[j+1]);
}
cout << "Array after pass " << i << ", pair " << j << " and " <<
j+1 << endl;
printArray(a, 5);
}
}
}

std::sort should have worked with floats...
