AS YOU CAN SEE, IT BUNCHES UP WORDS SUCH AS CANADA & ITALY Above. I have no idea why this is happening. It only happens with some words and not others.

 

HERE IS MY SORTING ALGORITHM CODE


for (int i = 0; i < count-1 ; i++)//sorting algorithm using selection sort
{
for (int j = i + 1; j < count; j++)
{
if (strcmp(country[i], country[j]) > 0)
{
strcpy(temp, country[i]);
strcpy(country[i], country[j]);
strcpy(country[j], temp);
}
