How to sort my array of char pointers

Question

#include <stdio.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <limits.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

for the program I have an array of char * named arr[] and I am trying to sort it alphabetically but having no luck doing so it does nothing when running the for loop at the end. I want to keep the offset[] with arr[] so because I need the char code and the offset for a file

typedef struct country {
    char code_name[4];
    char name[45];
    int population;
    float life_expect;
}country;

country data[240];

int main(void) {

    char *swap;
    int a=0,c=0,d=0,n=0;
    int cmp = 1;

heres the arr[]

    char *arr[239];
    size_t offset[239];
    char *ptr;
    int i = 0;
    int temp;
    char buf[512];
    char *token;
    char buf_write[10000];
    size_t nbytes_written;  
    size_t t_nbytes;

    FILE *fptr;
    fptr = fopen("AllCountries.dat", "r");
    int wptr;
    wptr = open("BinaryAllCountries.dat", O_RDWR);
    FILE *rptr;
    rptr = fopen("BinaryAllCountries.dat", "r");    

    do {
        if (fgets(buf, 512 , fptr)){
            //printf("%s\n",buf);
            token = strtok(buf,",;");
            while (token != NULL){          
            token = strtok(NULL, ",;");
                if (temp == 0){
                strcpy(data[i].code_name, token);
                nbytes_written = write(wptr, token, strlen(token));
                t_nbytes = t_nbytes + nbytes_written;
                //printf("code_name: %s\n", data[i].code_name);
                }
                if (temp == 1){
                strcpy(data[i].name, token);
                cmp = strcmp(data[i].name, "Virgin Islands");
                nbytes_written = write(wptr, token, strlen(token));
                t_nbytes = t_nbytes + nbytes_written;
                //printf("name: %s\n", data[i].name);
                } 
                if (temp == 6){ 
                data[i].population = atoi(token);
                nbytes_written = write(wptr, token, strlen(token));
                t_nbytes = t_nbytes + nbytes_written;
                //printf("population: %i\n", data[i].population);
                }
                if (temp == 7){
                data[i].life_expect = atof(token);
                nbytes_written = write(wptr, token, strlen(token));
                t_nbytes = t_nbytes + nbytes_written;
                //printf("life expectancy: %f\n", data[i].life_expect);
                }
            temp = temp + 1;
            }
        arr[i] = data[i].code_name;
        offset[i] = t_nbytes;
/*
        printf("%s\n",arr[i]);
        printf("%lu\n", offset[i]);
*/      printf("--------\n");

        i = i + 1;
        temp = 0;
        }
    }while (!feof(fptr));

here is where I tried to sort the array but nothing happens and the array stays the same

    for (c = 0 ; c < 10; c++){
            for (d = 0 ; d < 238; d++){
                if (arr[d] > arr[d+1]){
                swap     = arr[d];
                arr[d]   = arr[d+1];
                arr[d+1] = swap;
                }
        }
    }
    for (i = 0; i <239; i++){
        printf("%s\n",arr[i]);
    }

here is what some of the output looks like from the arr[] as you can see it doesn't get sorted

Answer 1

heres what i did and that allowed me to sort the struct based on the code_name field

static int
compmi(const void *m1, const void *m2)
       {
           struct country *mi1 = (struct country *) m1;
           struct country *mi2 = (struct country *) m2;
           return strcmp(mi1->code_name, mi2->code_name);
       }


  typedef struct country {
        char code_name[4];
        char name[45];
        int population;
        float life_expect;
        size_t offset;
    }country;

qsort(data, sizeof(data)/sizeof(data[0]),sizeof(struct country),compmi);
