You could also read in the first and last names separately into different components of a structure (e.g. struct data { char * fname; char * lname; .. other data .. }; and the sorting function which you then pass to qsort can be aware of the structure and do the compare any way you want. This is a very general way of getting *any* multi-key sort to work with qsort.
