Shell Sorting a doubly linked list

I got this project to create a doubly linked list from a file and sort it via the Shell sorting method. I think I figure it out (the logic behind the algorithm and how it works), and it really does sort the numbers I'm putting in the list without any errors, but I really need to be sure if I did it right. The function that I'm concerned about is ShellSort(). So here is the code:
