Sorting a 2-dimensional can be done in two ways :
- Converting 2-dimensional to 1-dimensional and then sorting it.
- Directly sorting the 2-dimensional array.
I would like to know the second method. Sorting it directly.

Try this. You can sort two dimensional array Directly
int array[][] = { { 12, 43, 21, 87, 32 }, { 43, 75, 21, 45, 65 } };
int t = 0;
for (int x = 0; x < 2; x++) {
for (int y = 0; y < 5; y++) {
for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
if (array[i][j] > array[x][y]) {
t = array[x][y];
array[x][y] = array[i][j];
array[i][j] = t;
}
}
}
}
}
System.out.println("The Sorted Array:");
for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
System.out.print(array[i][j] + "\t");
}
System.out.println();
}
