pointers - C programming, if statements (large to small integer swap) -

i have been working on getting code put 3 numbers in ascending , descending order. however, code skips if statements , assumes numbers in order. first time using if statements in c , second day of learning pointers appreciated. thank you

#include<stdio.h> void swap(int *, int *, int *); int main(void){  printf("please enter first number sort: "); scanf("%d",&numberone);  printf("please enter second number sort: "); scanf("%d",&numbertwo);  printf("please enter third number sort: "); scanf("%d",&numberthree);  //swap  swap(&numberone, &numbertwo, &numberthree);  //return results  printf("the 3 numbers in descending order is: %d, %d, %d",  numberone, numbertwo, numberthree);  printf("the 3 numbers in ascending order is: %d, %d, %d",  numberthree, numbertwo, numberone); }  void swap(int *numberone, int *numbertwo, int *numberthree){ if (numberone>numbertwo){ if (numbertwo<numberthree){ int temp =*numbertwo; *numbertwo=*numberthree; *numberthree = temp; } // "312"  else if (numbertwo>numberone){     if (numberone>numberthree){     int temp =*numberone;     *numberone =*numbertwo;     *numbertwo= temp;     // "231" }     else if(numberone<numberthree){     if(numbertwo>numberthree){     int temp =*numberone;     *numberone =*numbertwo;     *numbertwo =*numberthree;     *numberthree = temp;     // "132"     }     } } else if (numberthree > numberone){     if (numbertwo< numberone){     int temp =*numberthree;     *numberthree =*numbertwo;     *numbertwo =*numberone;     *numberone = temp;     // "213" } else {     int temp = *numberthree;     *numberthree = *numberone;     *numberone = temp;     // "123"     } }  } else{ printf("look @ these numbers in order..."); } } 

when this: if (numbertwo>numberone), comparing pointers. , need compare values contained behind pointers. do: if (*numbertwo>*numberone)
