arraySorter Function

/**
    * Sort an array of Comparable elements in place. The use of the Comparable interface
    *   allows us to use the compareTo() method. The parameter T is the types of object
    *   the method can accept, which is any data type (all wrapper classes and the String
    *   class implement Comparable by default) or class that implements the Comparable
    *   interface.
    * @param array the array of variables to be sorted (and returned)
