Hi Rodrigo,

sorry, maybe the code was confusing, I just wanted to visualize the
result array I like to get after sorting. So the "pi_array_sorted ="
shouldn't be an assignement and I used the wrong brakets. Thanks all
for your comments, but unfortunately concerning
the sorting issue I'm not a single step further.

Cheers,
Nico
