Sorting is relatively easy. Sort the list entries as you add them to the list. Rather than add the new item at the head of the list search down the list to find the item you want to add the new entry after then

newEntry->next = currentEntry->next
currentEntry->next = newEntry

You will need a special case to handle needing to add the new entry at the head of the list (an alternitive to a special case is to uses pointers to pointers but I find a special case easier to read and understand)..
