You need an algorithm.

How would you sort a set of numbered cards? I might start with looking 
for the smallest, and either moving that to the front, or using it to 
build a new set.

(It's not clear from the question whether the list needs to be sorted 
in-place, or a new list is returned with the elements sorted.)
