How to sort a vector without using the sort command

I can only use input, length, disp, while loops and if-else

What have you done so far? What sorting algorithm are you supposed to use?

what I have so far, but it isn't working
A=input('A=');
i=1;
j=1;
while j <= (length(A)-1)
while i <= (length(A)-1);
if A(i)>=A(i+1);
z=A(i);
A(i)=A(i+1);
A(i+1)=z;
i=i+1;
else A(i)=A(i);
A(i+1)=A(i+1);
i=i+1;
end
end
j=j+1;
end
disp(A)

The task is not possible under those conditions. In order to sort, you would need to also be able to use indexing, and comparison operators, and (depending how the question was worded) possibly assignment as well.
