How to sort counted(occurrence) numbers in increasing order?

[xcbart]

I have been given this question to create 50 random numbers from 1 to 15 and count how many times each occurred. I need to print them out in increasing order, but I couldn't. So far, I can only print out the numbers randomly with an increasing counter next to them. Any idea how I can print them out in order?

Thank you

Google for bubble sort numbers MASM

How would you do it with a pencil and the list of numbers on a piece of paper?
Do it that way.
The point of the exercise is to figure out which instructions to use to do the same thing manually.

Hi xcbart,

You can use the qsort function supplied by the MS VC run-time library. As an exercise, try to study the rand() function, the pseudorandom number generator :
