Using qsort() with Structs

Question

I just started learning C and I'm still new to it. In this program I'm working with an array of structs. The structs are:

typedef struct {
    int day;
    int month;
    int year;
} Date;

typedef struct {
    int serial_num;
    char full_name[15];
    Date *pDate;
} Person;

The array is Person *people.

Now I have two arrays of people and birth dates of those people (same indexes):

const char* names[MAX] = { "Sasson_Sassoni", "Pooh", "James_Bond", "Elvis_is_Alive", "Shilgiya", "Cleopatra", "Sissoo_VeSimmhoo" };

const int dates[MAX][COLS] = {
        { 10, 1, 1988 },
        { 12, 12, 1948 },
        { 4, 12, 1970 },
        { 11, 11, 1890 },
        { 11, 11, 1948 },
        { 1, 10, 1213 },
        { 12, 11, 1948 }
    };

By using switch case, every time the user types 1 a person from the lists (Name and birthday) is added to the list people. Then if the user types 3, the list people should be sorted by date (oldest to youngest). So I wrote the following two functions:

void sortList(Person **people, int index) {
    qsort(*people, index, sizeof(Person), intcmp);
}
int intcmp(const void *a, const void *b) {
    Person *one = (Person *)a;
    Person *two = (Person *)b;
    int year1 = one->pDate->year;
    int year2 = two->pDate->year;
    int month1 = one->pDate->month;
    int month2 = two->pDate->month;
    int day1 = one->pDate->day;
    int day2 = two->pDate->day;
    if (year1 > year2)
        return -1;
    else if (year2 > year1)
        return 1;
    if (month1 > month2)
        return -1;
    else if (month2 > month1)
        return 1;
    if (day1 > day2)
        return -1;
    else if (day2 > day1)
        return 1;
    return 0;
}

But every time I get an error saying:

Exception thrown: read access violation.
one->pDate was nullptr.

Any help? Thanks!

EDIT: Further explanation: In order to insert the people to the array one by one, I made a variable called index and every time a person is added the index grows by one. So When calling the function qsort(), index is the number of people in the array. Also MAX=7, COLS=3, LEN=10. The function that adds people to the array is:

void addToList(Person **people, int *index, const char *names[MAX], const int dates[][COLS]) {
    people[*index] = (Person *)malloc(sizeof(Person));
    people[*index]->serial_num = *index + 1;
    strcpy(people[*index]->full_name, names[*index]);
    Date *temp = (Date *)malloc(sizeof(Date));
    temp->day = dates[*index][0];
    temp->month = dates[*index][1];
    temp->year = dates[*index][2];
    people[*index]->pDate = temp;
    printf("%d %s     %d/%d/%d \n", people[*index]->serial_num, people[*index]->full_name, people[*index]->pDate->day, people[*index]->pDate->month, people[*index]->pDate->year);
    *index = *index + 1;
}

Answer 1

Your mcve is not complete but I think it's because you confuse pointer and struct:

void sortList(Person **people, int index) {
    qsort(people, index, sizeof(Person *), intcmp);
    // or qsort(people, index, sizeof *people, intcmp);
}

int intcmp(const void *a, const void *b) {
    const Person *one = *(const Person **)a;
    const Person *two = *(const Person **)b;
