anyone remember good ol' BUBBLE SORT?

[porksoda]

kay, here's the deal:
i'm coding my second ever flash game (video poker), and in order to find out if the player has a Straight, I need to sort the values of the cards.
the card values go from 1 (ace) to 13 (king), and are stored in 5 variables, called, logically enough, "one," "two," "three," "four," and "five."
so what i thought i'd do is put those values into 5 new variables (as to not destroy the old data by accident or what not) and do an old fashioned bubble sort..
although i can't remember how to do it, and everything i've come up with gives me infinite loops and other such nonsense.
here's what i have:

Set Variable: "temp1" = one
Set Variable: "temp2" = two
Set Variable: "temp3" = three
Set Variable: "temp4" = four
Set Variable: "temp5" = five
Set Variable: "counter" = 1
Loop While (counter < 6)
If ((temp & counter) > (temp & (counter + 1)))

//that line checks to see if the card "temp1" has a bigger
//value then card "temp2" - if so, switch their positions:

Set Variable: temp = temp & (counter + 1)
Set Variable: temp & (counter + 1) = temp & counter
Set Variable: temp & counter = temp
Set Variable: "counter" = 1
Else
//if temp1 is LESS than temp2, then it's all good. check
//the next one
Set Variable: "counter" = counter + 1
End If
End Loop
If (temp5 = (temp4 + 1) and temp5 = (temp3 + 2) and temp5 = (temp2 + 3) and temp5 = (temp1 + 4))
Set Variable: "result" = "straight"
End If

BUT IT DOESN'T WORK AND I DONT KNOW WHY.
.....
help?
