sorting and copying array

Okay it looks like a copied the initial random numbers, but unable to sort it for some reason i couldn't figure it out. Im not sure if my for loop is working properly.

#include<iostream>
#include<cstdlib>
#include<ctime>

//function prototype
void initialize_array(int [],int);//to initialize an array
int *sort_array(int [],int);//to sort the array
void print_array(int [],int);//to display the unsorted and sorted array

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int *array1 = nullptr;//To point to the numbers
int *array2 = nullptr;


int num1;//declare a variable

//ask the user for the amount of integer numbers
cout<<"Enter the amount of integer numbers: ";
cin>>num1;

//dynamically allocate the array
array1 = new int[num1];
array2 = new int[num1];


//call function to initialize the arrays
initialize_array(array1,num1);
initialize_array(array2,num1);


//call function to display unsorted random numbers
cout<<"\n\n the initial array with random numbers are\n";
print_array(array1,num1);

for(int x=0;x<num1; x++)
{
array1[x]=array2[x];
}

//call function to display sorted random numbers
cout<<"\n\n the output random numbers are\n";
sort_array(array2,num1);



//free the memory
delete []array1;
delete []array2;
array1 = 0;
array2 = 0;
return 0;
}

//to display the array
void print_array(int array[],int size)
{
for(int x = 0; x < size; x++)
{
cout<<array[x]<<" ";
}
cout<<endl;
}
//to initialize the array
void initialize_array(int array[],int num)
{
//initialize the array filling it out with random number 1-100
srand(time(0));
for(int x = 0; x < num; x++)
array[x] = rand()%100 + 1;
}
//to sort the array using bubble sort
int *sort_array(int array[],int size)
{
int *newArray=nullptr;
newArray=new int[size];
for(int z=0; z<size; z++)
{
newArray[z]=array[z];
int a,x,y,w;
for(x = 0; x < size-1; x++)
{
y=x;
w=newArray[x];
for(a = x+1; a < size; a++)
{
if(newArray[a]<w)
{
w=newArray[a];
y=a;
}
}
newArray[y]=newArray[x];
newArray[x]=w;

}
cout<<newArray[z]<<" ";

}
cout<<endl;


return array;
}
okay it looks like the random numbers are sorted out -----> solved
but next problem is to find the pivot point or number and then split one array into two arrays not including the pivot number. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated
