{"person8", },
{"person9", },
{"person10", }};

int count = 0;
while(count != 10){

cout << personlist [count][0] << " : ";
cin >> personlist[count][1];

++count;
}

I really think you need to look up some documentation for arrays. You don't need a multidimensional array to do this task. Also since you're using an array of strings you're not actually inputing numbers, your inputing strings.

What is the purpose of the personlist array?

Why not just print this :
cout << "Person " << count << ": " ;

Also you may want to re-check your sort routine. It is accessing your arrays out of bounds. Plus your "swap" isn't correct.

its purpose is each person input a number and then it sort the list and output which person have the highst number.
jlb (4973)
Why not find the highest number before you sort the numbers? If you really think you must keep track of both the person and the score I recommend you use a structure that contains this information, not parallel arrays.

okay i found a way thanks for the help :D
