//this program is about sorting and searching a name anyone can help me fix this things?

Please explain the problems are you are having. Copy and paste here the program's output and explain what is wrong with it.

You need to edit the post and properly format the code by adding indentations for nested statements. Unformated code is hard to read and understand. There are too many statements starting in the first column.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 0
at java.lang.String.charAt(String.java:695)
at ivan3.main(ivan3.java:101)

The code tries to get the first character (index=0) of a String at line 101 that is empty.
Check the code at line 101 to see why it is trying to look at characters in an empty String.
It could use the String class's length() method to see if the String is empty.
