Can anyone help me with this sort?

So i've made an alphabetical sort, and after using it and trying to get it to print the new values, all the values are blank. Maybe someone can help me figure out what i'm doing wrong here?

when the cout call comes after the namesort function, i get this:
(the female gender symbol) ---two alt code lines 1D ---- 01triangle0 --- 8.90212e-306
that, 12 times.

Really need some help with this

Wrong array index line 85. I'm sure you meant emp[k].fname not emp[i].fname
You really couldn't see that?
pantsbandit (24)
i didn't notice it until just a minute before you posted that.
I do feel stupid.

Sorry. I guess a 2nd pair of eyes is needed sometimes. I've made many such errors and then looked right past it for hours.
Did that fix the problem?
EDIT: I guess it did. I now see the green checkmark.
