The Selection Sort II Page

The Selection Sort operates by finding the subscript of the largest element in an array, i.e., the one which should be in the last position in the array. This element is then swapped with the one in the last position. Then the operation is repeated for the remaining elements, performing a swap to get the next highest element into position. This is repeated until all elements are properly sorted.
