sort array of strings using for loop

[intruder83-help]

Hi everybody.
I have a problem with sorting an array of names. I have a txt file with a
names e.g. "Jack, John, Bob, Adam, Paul".
All i have to do is write the names into the individual cells of new array
and than sort it by an alphabet using for loop and write it out into a new
txt file.
I just after figuring out how to separete a names and my source code looks
like:

string delimiter = ",";
string path = @"c:\notsorted.txt";
string r = sr.ReadLine();
string[] names = r.Split(delimiter.ToCharArray());

but i have no idea how to sort it with for loop.
If there is anyone who can help me it would be great!
Thanks

First of all you have to choose a sorting algorithm. There are plenty of
them; for instance, you can find the description for Bubble Sort in this
page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubblesort . The wikipedia article
contains some sample code in various programming languages. Follow the links
at the bottom of the page for other sorting algorithms.

It is already part of the Array class :

Why not use a list instead?

List<string> names = r.Split(delimiter.ToCharArray()).ToList();
names.Sort();
