Thread: Java selection sort

I'm currently doing selection sort and this is my method to sort a array of string into alphabet order. I interpret the code line by line into words and test it by hand it seem to make sense but when I run it, the array won't be in order. Can anyone help me find where I went wrong? Thanks

    public static void sortTitles(Movie3[]list )
    {   
             //Movie3 [] dest = new Movie3[list.length];
             Movie3 temp;
             int max ;
            for(int x = list.length-1 ; x > 0 ;x--)
                {
                String next = list[x].getTitle();
                max = x;
                for(int i = 0 ; i < x ;i++)
                {
 
                    if((next.compareTo(list[i].getTitle())) > 0 )
                    {
                        max =  i ;
                    }
 
                }
                temp = list[x];
                list[x] = list[max];
                list[max] = temp;
            }
 
    }

Thanks for the hints on the value of max.
Here is my new code and it working, but I don't understand why the inner loop need to have an index of max which = i for it to work.

    public static void sortTitles(Movie3[]list )
    {   
 
         Movie3 temp;
         int max ;
        for(int x = list.length-1 ; x > 0 ;x--)
        { 
         max = 0 ;
         for(int i = 1 ; i <= x ;i++)
         {
             String next = list[max].getTitle();
            if((next.compareTo(list[i].getTitle())) > 0 )
            {
             max =  i ;
            }
            System.out.println(max);
                }
         temp = list[x];
         list[x] = list[max];
         list[max] = temp;
         }
     }
