Question

I\'m trying to sort an array in ascending order. For some reason it only performs the for loop once. Why doesn\'t it keep going until everything is sorted?

You are trying to sort an array using a single loop. You would be needing two loops to ensure that the elements are in sorted order.

public static int[] sortArray(int[] nonSortedArray) 
{
    int[] sortedArray = new int[nonSortedArray.length];
    int temp;
    for (int i = 0; i < nonSortedArray.length-1; i++) 
    {
        for (int j = i+1; j < nonSortedArray.length; j++)
        {
            if (nonSortedArray[i] > nonSortedArray[j]) 
            {
                temp = nonSortedArray[i];
                nonSortedArray[i] = nonSortedArray[j];
                nonSortedArray[j] = temp;
                sortedArray = nonSortedArray;
            }
        }
    }
    return sortedArray;
}
