How to print from an input file after being sorted

Hedgehog Ninja (85)
In my class I had to make a program where it took the name of county and its tax rate from a input file and displays it sorted. Everytime I test it with an output file (which is not needed for this program) It would only show whatever was the last thing on the input file as a the 10th county and all the tax rates would be 0.00%.

     while (input >> county[index]); //look at that semicolon
     {
          input >> tax_rate[index];
          index++;
     }

Wow, I can't believe that actually worked. I wonder why the compiler was accepting it like that.

My code sorts it in ascending order, so how would I change the function at the end to do the opposite? Here is an example of what it's showing. (i know they are not real counties :P)
Milk 200.00%
Chocolate 160.00%
Fudge 2.00%
