bubble sort vs selection sort

Why do I get a different order for the different sorts? I pass the exact same array of strings into both of those functions, but they put the array in different orders.

void bubbleSort(string array[], int size)
{
	string temp;
	
	
	for (int i = 0; i < size - 1; i++)
	{
		
		if (array[i] > array[i + 1])
		{
			temp = array[i];
			array[i] = array[i + 1];
			array[i + 1] = temp;
			
		
		}
		
		
	}

	return;

}

void selectionSort(string array[], int size)
{
	int index;
	string smallest;
	
	for (int i = 0; i < size-1; i++)
	{
		index = i;
		smallest = array[i];
		
		for (int x = 1; x < size; x++)
		{
			if (array[x] < smallest)
			{
				smallest = array[x];
				index = x;
			}
		}
		array[index] = array[i];
		array[i] = smallest;
		
	}

If they put the arrays in different orders, then one or both of them is/are broken.
