file sorting is not working if anyone can help..

What do you want to do? Do you want to sort the elements in the file as follows?

Input file "a"
5
3
2
4
1

Output file "a"
1
2
3
4
5

Also in your present code,

while( fin ) // fin is not a boolean expression
{

  fin>>i; // Only the last element read from the file shall be stored in i. 
             // All the previous elements read shall be overwritten.
  l++;
}
