To all,

I've been using unsigned char for so long that I didn't realize that I should used have just made is a plain old char since its beaten to death to keep the code as small as possible by using unsigned.

I ran it as just char and all is right with the world. Hopefully this may help someone in the future as it works exactly as it should.

Thanks again all,
Best
Chris

void bubbleSort(char my_array[], char array_size); //prototype

char small_array[5] = {9,4,2,8,3}; //my array initialized out of order

void bubbleSort(char my_array[], char array_size) //sort it
{
  char i, j, temp;

  for (i = (array_size - 1); i >= 0; i--)
  {
    for (j = 1; j <= i; j++)
    {
      if (my_array[j-1] > my_array[j])
      {
        temp = my_array[j-1];
        my_array[j-1] = my_array[j];
        my_array[j] = temp;
      }}}}

void main (void)//main program
{
										  
while(1)//Loop this section forever
   {  
     bubbleSort(small_array, 5); //sort forever test
   }
